I'm using DermaDew Bact soap to help with my acne. I'm wondering if using it might somehow slow down or interfere with my beard growth. Is that something I should be concerned about, or is it generally safe to use without affecting facial hair development?

DermaDew Bact soap is an antibacterial soap used to control acne.

Impact on Beard Growth

  1. No direct effect: DermaDew Bact soap is unlikely to directly inhibit beard growth.
  2. Indirect effect: The soap's antibacterial properties might reduce inflammation and prevent ingrown hairs, potentially promoting a healthier beard growth environment.

Key Ingredients

  1. Benzoyl peroxide (2.5%): Antibacterial agent that reduces acne-causing bacteria.
  2. Triclosan: Antibacterial agent that helps control bacterial growth.

Precautions

  1. Use as directed: Follow the product instructions for use.
  2. Avoid overuse: Excessive use can lead to dryness and irritation.
  3. Patch test: Perform a patch test before using the soap on your face or beard area.

I'm a bit worried because I've suddenly started experiencing hair fall and noticed there's a white bulb at the end of the hair strands. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hair fall with a white bulb at the end can be a sign of telogen effluvium, which is often triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes. To help with hair fall, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% once daily on the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin tablets 10,000 mcg daily can also support hair growth. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive heat styling or harsh hair treatments.

I 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
