I've been taking finax 1mg tablets for about 2 months now. I'm 27 years old and I've noticed an increase in body hair on my hands, legs, and chest. Can you help me understand why this is happening all of a sudden?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Finax 1mg tablets contain Finasteride, which is commonly used to treat hair loss in men. However, one of the side effects of Finasteride can be increased body hair growth. This is known as hirsutism. It is important to note that not everyone will experience this side effect, but it can happen in some individuals. If you are concerned about the increased body hair growth, you may consider discussing this with your healthcare provider.

View allI've got this patch on the right side of my head and I've been using Folica hair tincture and taking these tablets called Dailyshine and vb7 biotine. It seems like the hair fall has stopped, but there's still no hair growing back in that spot. What should I do about this?
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction (PIED) _Possible Causes_ 1. _Psychological factors_: Performance anxiety, stress, or emotional issues may contribute to ED with your wife. 2. _Desensitization to real-life sex_: Overexposure to porn can lead to desensitization, making it difficult to achieve an erection with a real partner. 3. _Conditioned response_: Your brain may associate porn with arousal, making it challenging to respond to real-life sexual stimuli. _Recommendations_ 1. _Seek professional help_: Consult a sex therapist, counselor, or urologist to address underlying psychological or physical issues. 2. _Take a break from porn_: Consider a temporary break from porn to help your brain readjust to real-life sexual stimuli. 3. _Improve communication with your wife_: Openly discuss your feelings, desires, and concerns with your wife to strengthen your emotional connection and intimacy. 4. _Explore other forms of intimacy_: Engage in non-penetrative sex, sensual massage, or other forms of intimacy to help you reconnect with your wife.

I used Dettol on my face about a month ago, and initially, the affected area turned dark black. Now its more reddish with some black spots, and Im also having these small rash-like bumps and a bit of itching. Im wondering if this is part of the healing process? I've been using No Scars cream lately is that okay over Dettol burns, or should I try something else to help with the scarring and irritation?

I'm dealing with ringworm in my groin, forehead, and near my eye. The one in the groin has been particularly persistent since I got pregnant 8 months ago, and it's just not going away. I havent taken any oral meds because Im breastfeeding my 8-month-old. I've been using Terbinaforce Plus Cream and Fintop Ebernet, but I'm worried they're not enough. What can I do? Is there something else safer to try while nursing?
Ringworm (Tinea) can be challenging to treat, especially while breastfeeding. _Current Treatment_ Terbinaforce Plus Cream and Fintop + Ebernet are topical treatments that can help manage symptoms. However, the continuous presence of ringworm in your groin area suggests that the treatment might not be fully effective. _Additional Measures_ 1. _Maintain good hygiene_: Wash the affected areas with soap and water, and dry thoroughly. 2. _Change clothes and bedding regularly_: Prevent the spread of fungal spores. 3. _Avoid sharing personal items_: Towels, clothing, and other personal items can spread the infection. _Breastfeeding-Friendly Oral Medications_ Consult your doctor about oral medications that are safe while breastfeeding, such as: 1. _Griseofulvin_: An antifungal medication that can be used while breastfeeding. 2. _Fluconazole_: A single-dose oral medication that can be used to treat ringworm. _Consult a Doctor_ Schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss: 1. _Adjusting your treatment plan_: Explore alternative topical treatments or oral medications. 2. _Ensuring the infection doesn't spread_: Get guidance on preventing the spread of ringworm to other areas. Remember to consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.
