View allI'm currently undergoing PRP treatment and I'm wondering if it's safe to use Minoxidil at the same time. Can you shed some light on this for me?
Yes, you can use Minoxidil during PRP treatment for hair loss. Minoxidil is a common medication used to promote hair growth and can be used in conjunction with PRP therapy. The usual dosage for Minoxidil is applying 1ml of solution to the affected area twice daily.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my penis for a few months now. I saw my GP and they gave me Daktarin cream, which really helped with the symptoms. But now I've run out and I'm noticing the dry skin coming back. I got prescribed Daktacort cream this time, but it says not to use it on the genital area. Is it actually safe to use there? Also, since it's just mild dry skin at this point, could using shea butter as a moisturizer be a good idea?
Daktacort cream contains an antifungal (miconazole) and a mild corticosteroid (hydrocortisone) which can be effective for fungal infections. However, it is not recommended for use on the genital region due to the presence of the corticosteroid which can cause thinning of the skin in that area. It is best to consult your healthcare provider for an alternative treatment for your genital fungal infection. As for using shea butter as a moisturizer for mild dry skin, it can be a good option as shea butter is known for its moisturizing properties.
