I've been using Candid cream and Clocip powder, but I keep getting this itchy sensation again. It feels good when I scratch it, but then it gets really irritating. Can you recommend a good ointment or prescription I could try?

Consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole, Miconazole, or Terbinafine, and for itching, apply a topical steroid cream like Hydrocortisone; also, try an anti-itching cream like Sarna or Calamine; if the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for a prescription and proper diagnosis, as recurring itching and irritation may indicate an underlying skin condition.

I'm 18 and my doctor prescribed the Hair Fact kit about 6 months ago. I've been using it regularly, but I'm getting a bit worried now. Could it have any side effects on my health? I keep hearing about DHT blockers and I'm not sure if this is one of them. Is that something I should be concerned about? I'm really anxious about whether it's okay for me to continue taking these tablets.
Typically contains vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that are beneficial for hair growth. However, since you are only 18 years old, it is important to be cautious about taking any supplements without proper medical supervision. Hair Fact Kit may contain ingredients that help block DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is a hormone that can contribute to hair loss. Blocking DHT can help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. In terms of potential health effects, it is important to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the recommended intake. If you have any concerns about the effects of Hair Fact Kit on your health, I recommend discussing them with your doctor. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current health status.

I'm curious about the cost of getting a mucocele removed using laser treatment. Also, how much downtime should I expect afterwards?
Mucocele removal is a minor surgery. It requires only a few hours of post-operative rest until the anesthesia wears off. You can then be discharged. Cost of the surgery varies depending on the facility at which you have the procedure done.
