Question 1

I'm really worried because my wife took the i-pill about 20 hours ago and now she's got these small blisters on her back and buttocks. Should I be seeing a dermatologist about it or will they just go away on their own eventually? Also, any tips on what we can do in the meantime to help with the itching?

Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I'm dealing with some hair loss issues and I've heard about Finax as a possible solution. How safe is it to use, and what are the chances that it will help with hair regrowth? Could you also let me know if a prescription is necessary for it?

Accepted Answer

Finax is a popular medication for hair loss, but its safety and effectiveness depend on various factors.

What is Finax?

Finax is a brand name for Finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It's primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) but is also effective in promoting hair growth and slowing down hair loss.

Safety Profile

Finasteride is generally considered safe when used as directed. However, like any medication, it can cause side effects, such as:

1. Sexual dysfunction: Decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders.
2. Breast tenderness or enlargement: Rare but possible.
3. Mood changes: Depression, anxiety, or mood swings.

Efficacy for Hair Regrowth

Finasteride has been shown to be effective in promoting hair growth and slowing down hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Studies have demonstrated:

1. Hair growth: Finasteride can increase hair growth by 10-15% over a 2-year period.
2. Hair loss reduction: Finasteride can reduce hair loss by 30-40% over a 2-year period.

Prescription and Dosage

Finax is a prescription medication, and you should consult a doctor before starting treatment. The typical dosage for hair loss is:

1. Finasteride 1mg: Take one tablet orally once a day.

Question 3

I'm dealing with a constant itching and burning sensation between my legs, especially around my testis and anus. It's been going on for a couple of months now. I've tried a few things like Quard cream, surfazsn, and even consulted a doctor who suggested Ritch cream and levoctrizen, but nothing has helped. I also visited AIIMS Jodhpur where they recommended candid b, Fluconazole tablets, and powder, yet I still haven't found any relief. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Candid-B) for local application twice a day, Fluconazole tablet 150mg once a day for 7 days, and Fluconazole powder for dusting in the affected areas. This combination can help treat fungal infections effectively. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage and duration for optimal results

This sounds like a case of fungal infection, specifically tinea corporis. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.
