I've been dealing with jock itch and it's been really bothersome. Can Nycil powder help with this itching? If it's okay to use, how much should I apply? Also, are there any other remedies that might work?

Nycil powder can help in relieving jock itch symptoms. You can apply it to the affected area. However, for better results, you can also use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream. Apply the cream to the affected area. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothes, and avoiding sharing personal items can also help in managing jock itch.

I'm a 28-year-old guy dealing with male pattern baldness. I went to see a dermatologist, and they suggested I try Minoxidil, Finasteride 1mg, and Keraglo AD. After using Finasteride for about a month, I've noticed some side effects like a drop in libido and more watery semen. I decided to stop taking Finasteride because of this. Is there another way to control my hair loss or another medication that can help block DHT and maybe even encourage hair growth? Would really appreciate your advice.

Since you have experienced side effects from finasteride, an alternative medication you can consider for stopping DHT and promoting hair growth is Dutasteride. Dutasteride works similarly to finasteride but is more potent. You can discuss with your dermatologist about the possibility of switching to Dutasteride. Additionally, you can continue using Minoxidil 5 for promoting hair growth. It is important to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management of your male pattern baldness.
