I've been going for swimming classes lately, and I've noticed that my skin is getting tanned even though I'm using sunscreen. I'm really hoping to get rid of this tan quickly. Can you suggest any effective detanning creams or something I can apply on my hands and face to help fade the tan?

I recently visited a dermatologist because I'm experiencing hair fall. They prescribed me these dutamax 0.5mg tablets, and I'm a bit concerned. Are these safe to use, and do they have any side effects I should know about? I came across something that mentioned it might change libido, and that worries me. Can you give me some insight into this?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm 20 years old and have been masturbating daily for the past four years. Is it healthy to do this every day? I've heard that ejaculating sperm daily might affect future fertility and that it could be risky for married life. My girlfriend is also concerned and insists I quit the habit urgently. Is there any truth to these worries, especially about affecting my ability to ovulate, even though I know ovulation is related to females? I'm anxious about whether this will complicate things when I'm married. Looking for some guidance.

yes you can have it
