I'm curious about Finax 1mg Tablet for hair loss. I'm worried about the side effects like decreased libido, decreased semen volume, and impotence. Also, if you stop taking the medicine, you might lose the hair you gained. So, what's the point of taking it if you lose your hair when you stop? Does this mean you'd have to keep taking it forever if you don't want to lose hair again?

I've been struggling with dry and scaly skin on my knuckles, and no matter how much I use moisturizer cream, it just doesn't go away. Unfortunately, there's no good dermatologist where I live. Can you suggest a solution? If there's a cream you recommend, could you please mention the brand name, preferably one that's easy to find even in smaller places?

You may be dealing with a condition like eczema or psoriasis. In this case, I recommend trying a cream containing 1% hydrocortisone, such as Cortizone-10. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. Remember to consult a healthcare professional if the symptoms persist or worsen.

I'm experiencing a lot of itching between my hips and vagina, and sometimes it gets really intense. But after scratching, it becomes painful. I'm really worried about what might be causing this. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?

Sounds like you may be experiencing a yeast infection. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 1-2 weeks to help relieve the itching and pain. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing.
