I've been dealing with a lot of dandruff lately, and it's started to cause pimples on my face. What can I do about this dandruff problem? Any advice would be appreciated.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Dandruff can be treated with anti-dandruff shampoos containing ketoconazole. You can try using Nizoral shampoo twice a week for 4 weeks to help reduce dandruff. Additionally, for the pimples on your face, you can use a topical acne treatment such as benzoyl peroxide gel (2.5%) once daily on the affected areas. Remember to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management if the symptoms persist.

View allI've been dealing with male pattern alopecia and recently saw a dermatologist. She recommended I use Qilib spray, Androanegen Tablet, 1 ml of Minoxidil 10 daily, and Finax 1 mg daily. I've read so much about Finax and its potential risks for men, and I'm quite concerned because I know Finasteride has been banned in several countries. Do you think I should see another doctor for a second opinion or stick with these meds? Also, I've been on high-quality lean whey protein for about 45 months since I work out regularly, but no steroids. Can you provide some detailed advice?
Finax, which contains Finasteride, is commonly used for male pattern alopecia but can have potential side effects. However, it is important to note that the decision to continue or discontinue a medication should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider. In the case of male pattern alopecia, the medications suggested by your dermatologist are commonly used to help with hair loss. Qilib spray, Androanagen Tablet, Minoxidil 10%, and Finax 1 mg are all aimed at addressing this issue. If you have reservations about Finax, you can discuss alternative treatment options with your dermatologist. They may be able to suggest other medications or therapies that could be effective for you.

I got this boil on my nose about two weeks ago. At first, it was just a red bump, but then it filled up with pus. It wouldn't pop on its own, so I decided to pop and drain it yesterday. Now it's all red and swollen. What should I do now?
don't scratch it or squeeze it basic topical antibiotic ointment would help in healing,if it grows visit Dermatologist for treatment.

I've been really anxious since my circumcision surgery 44 days ago because the stitches are still there. How much longer do these typically take to dissolve? Also, I'm curious when the sensitivity might start to decrease. Is there anything I should be doing in the meantime?
No need to worry they dissolve in 120-180 days depending upon the type of material used, sensitivity will become less with time.
