I'm using Acnil soap for acne, but my face is drying out and starting to peel. I'm 25 and really worried about these side effects. Could you recommend another option for dealing with acne that won't dry out my skin?

Since Acnil soap is causing dryness and peeling of your skin, you can try using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. It is a mild and non-irritating cleanser that is suitable for sensitive skin. Use it twice a day, in the morning and evening, to cleanse your face. Make sure to follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.

View allI recently had stents placed in both my ureters and they were there for a week after my RIRS procedure. After the stents were removed, I tried to masturbate after a couple of days because I felt the urge, but I ended up having this weird experience where it felt like sperm was coming out but nothing actually did; it was just dry. Should I be worried about this or is it something that can happen?
After stent removal, it's normal to experience temporary changes in ejaculation, and the "dry" sensation could be due to inflammation, scarring, or residual swelling, so consult your urologist to rule out any complications or blockages

I was prescribed tacroz 0.1 tacrolimus for my psoriasis, but it's really pricey at 671rs for just 20g. I came across a couple of cheaper alternatives online, crolimate ointment and tacoseal 0.1. Can I use one of these, or is there another low-cost option you can suggest? I have psoriasis over most of my skin, and the expensive medicine is hard to keep up with. Any advice?
Both Crolimate and Tacoseal could be suitable alternatives to Tacroz since they contain the same active ingredient. However, its important to check with your doctor before switching to make sure these alternatives are effective and safe for your condition. In the meantime, other treatments like topical steroids, coal tar, or calcipotriene might also be good options if you're looking for more affordable choices. Your doctor will help guide you on the best path forward based on the severity and extent of your psoriasis.
