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?

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 allMy head always feels really hot, and I'm not sure why. I'm a bit worried and wondering if there's something I could do to help with this. I've been using coconut oil dailycould that be affecting it? Any advice or solution would be appreciated.
Excessive head heat can be due to various factors like stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, or poor scalp circulation; to alleviate this, try applying coconut oil mixed with a few drops of peppermint or lavender essential oil to your scalp, practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises, maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and consider incorporating herbal teas like chamomile, hibiscus, or green tea to help regulate body temperature and promote relaxation.

I'm really worried after a recent experience. I had sex with a prostitute, the condom broke, and I don't know her STD status. About a week later, I noticed genital warts. I've been using Monolox antibiotics, Flonida cream, and Supirocin ointment daily. Even though Flonida is meant to be used twice a week, I started using it daily after two weeks. Now, after three weeks, I see more swelling and redness around the opening of my penis. Could this be an STD, or maybe it's because of how the Flonida cream is affecting my skin? When I apply it, the foreskin touches the tip of my penis. I'm really anxiousis this a sign of herpes? What type of doctor should I consult?
It sounds like the swelling and redness you're experiencing could be related to the use of Flonida cream, especially if it is coming into contact with sensitive areas like the tip of your penis. However, since genital warts and other STDs can present with similar symptoms, I strongly recommend consulting a **dermatologist** or a **venereologist** (specialist in sexually transmitted diseases) for a proper diagnosis and to rule out any concerns like herpes or other infections. It's important to get a professional opinion for peace of mind.
