I've been struggling with psoriasis on my hands, and I'm currently using Acrotac. It doesn't seem to be working anymore, and I'm worried about what to try next that won't come with a bunch of side effects. Could you suggest some alternative treatments or medications? Id really appreciate your advice!

My girlfriend just started getting these weird red streaky rashes on her hands, legs, and back out of nowhere this afternoon. At first, it kinda looked like shed been scratched by a cat or something, but thats definitely not it. Should we be worried and see a doctor ASAP?

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to switch between using Procapil and Redensyl on alternate mornings and then applying minoxidil every night? Also, are there any products that combine these ingredients, or are there other alternatives like Baicapil or Anagain that could give the best results? My dermatologist had me using Redensyl in the morning and minoxidil at night, before that it was Procapil, and both seemed to work well.

I'm 26 and currently not married. A doctor gave me a prescription for Finalo tablets and Morre 5 lotion, and I've been hearing about possible side effects from Finalo, especially concerning impotence. I'm curious, if that happens, is it something that can be reversed after I'm done with the treatment?

No need to worry low dose of finasteride would not cause impotency and it's reversible if at all you face issues.
