I've been using Faiza Beauty Cream for the past six months and I'm thinking about stopping. Is there any chance that stopping could cause any issues with my skin?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Faiza Beauty Cream likely contains steroids, which can cause dependence and withdrawal symptoms when stopped abruptly.
Potential Withdrawal Symptoms
- Skin redness and irritation
- Itching and burning
- Dryness and flakiness
- Acne or breakouts
To Minimize Withdrawal Symptoms
- Gradual tapering: Reduce usage over 2-4 weeks.
- Moisturize: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
- Sun protection: Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

View allI'm really worried about my sister. She's currently 22 weeks and 4 days pregnant and recently had a viral fever. The fever's gone now, but she's experiencing some intense itching all over her body. The doctor mentioned it's a post-viral symptom, but she's been taking LCZ and using lacto calamine without any relief. What are some quick solutions or remedies she can try to ease the itching?
Consider adding an oral antihistamine like cetirizine or levocetirizine, and a topical cream like aloe vera gel or calamine lotion with 1% menthol, under medical guidance, to help alleviate itching, and also ensure your sister stays hydrated and avoids scratching to prevent infection.

I'm dealing with a receding hairline and was advised to take Saw Palmetto with beta Sitosterol. I've heard that beta Sitosterol might cause sexual side effects, like loss of libido or erectile dysfunction. Is that true? And if it does cause these issues, will they go away once I stop taking the medication?
Beta sitosterol is a plant sterol that is commonly found in saw palmetto extract. While rare, some individuals may experience sexual side effects such as loss of libido or erectile dysfunction while taking beta sitosterol. If you are experiencing these side effects, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider. They may recommend adjusting the dosage or discontinuing the medication. In most cases, once the medication is stopped, the sexual problems should resolve.
