I've noticed about a 1-inch yellow patch on my husband's right arm, and I'm really not sure what it could be. It hurts a little when you pinch it. Could you help me figure out what this might be and what we should do next?

I'm a 30-year-old guy and my hair's been thinning out with some mild bald spots showing up. My dermatologist recommended I take Finax 1 Tablet once every day, but I've heard it could have sexual side effects. Could you tell me if these side effects are common or if they might cause problems with family planning in the future? I'm a bit concerned about how it could impact me sexually as time goes on. Would love to hear your thoughts.
