I've been dealing with these Fordyce Spots on my penis for what feels like forever, about 34 years. I've just never really known what to do about them. Is there any way to get rid of them, or should I just let them be?

View allI'm thinking about using finax but at a really low dose, like maybe 0.5 mg per week. Do you think that would still be effective, and should I be worried about any side effects from such a small amount?
Using Finax (finasteride) at a lower dosage, such as 0.5 mg per week, is a common practice, especially for individuals who are concerned about potential side effects or are sensitive to the medication. Potential Benefits 1. Reduced risk of side effects: Lowering the dosage may minimize the risk of side effects, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or breast tenderness. 2. Still effective for hair loss: Finasteride, even at lower dosages, can still be effective in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair growth. Potential Drawbacks 1. Reduced efficacy: Lowering the dosage may reduce the medication's efficacy in treating hair loss or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 2. Variable response: Individual responses to finasteride can vary, and some people may not respond as well to lower dosages. Side Effects at Lower Dosages While lowering the dosage may reduce the risk of side effects, it's essential to remember that individual responses can vary. Some people may still experience side effects, such as: 1. Decreased libido 2. Erectile dysfunction 3. Breast tenderness 4. Mood changes Monitoring and Adjustments If you decide to use Finax at a lower dosage, it's crucial to: 1. Consult your doctor: Inform your doctor about your decision to reduce the dosage, and ask for their guidance and monitoring.

I'm dealing with some redness on the glans of my penis and have been applying Fucibet. Is this the right treatment for my situation? If not, can you suggest something else or offer any advice?
Redness on the glans of the penis can be a sign of inflammation or infection. It is important to keep the area clean and dry. You can apply an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for 1-2 weeks. If the redness persists or is accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, discharge, or fever, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
