Question

I'm thinking about switching from Finpecia to Finalo 1mg because it's a bit more affordable. Is Finalo a good alternative, and are there any other cheaper brands youd recommend? I'm just trying to find a cost-effective option thats still safe and effective.

Question

I've been taking Finasteride 1mg every day, but I'm still dealing with dandruff even though I'm using Scalpe Plus Shampoo. Could this be related to the change in seasons or is something else going on? I'm worried because it feels like I'm losing about 20 to 25 hairs daily. Can you help me understand what's happening?

Question

I've had issues before with redness and sores on my penis, and during the lockdown, one dermatologist said it was genital herpes. He prescribed Acyclovir, but it didn't work, so I saw another dermatologist in person. She diagnosed it as a secondary bacterial infection and balanoposthitis, which cleared up after treatment. Out of curiosity, I got IgM and IgG blood tests for HSV 1 and 2, plus other STD tests, and everything came back negative. I repeated the tests after three months and they were still negative. Now, this year, I've noticed redness and a sore again. Should I be worried that it's herpes, or is it likely to be something else?

Question

I've noticed this bump on my skin after scratching it, and it's really irritating. I keep feeling the urge to scratch it more. Should I be concerned about this, or is it just something that'll go away on its own? Would love to know what might be causing it.
