Is Finasteride 1mg Linked to Prostate Cancer Risk?
i am using finasteride 1mg daily for hair loss . i have read that it can cause prostate cancer . is this true or can i take it without any worry

Answered on 14th Oct '24
Finasteride is mostly safe to use for most people and it's not a direct cause of prostate cancer. Nevertheless, it can have an impact on the behavior of the prostate which in turn, may result in a PSA test result being altered. If you have concerns, it's always best to talk to your doctor.

Hello, I am 24 years old, I actually wanted to know if dermaplaning is good for my face and is their any side effects after doing that. Also I wanted to know the cost of dermaplane for my face. Thankyou!
Female | 24
Dermaplaning is helpful in decreasing wrinkles, acne and fine lines. But to know whether you are eligible or not for it, you need to visit a dermatologist. Based on your skin type and condition, the doctor will tell whether dermaplaning is suitable for you or not. And talking about the cost, it depends on the area that needs treatment and it also depends on the doctor and the clinic.

I had chicken pox 2 years back and the mark of chicken pox was left on my hand, 2 days back I had dipped cotton inside dettol and wrapped that on the mark. When I opened it yesterday I had 2 bubbles beside those marks on my skin
Male | 16
You may have gotten sores next to the chickenpox scars on your hand. These sores might be caused by irritation or infection. Do not scratch or pop these sores because doing so can make them more infected. Clean and dry the area. Using a soothing lotion or getting checked out by a dermatologist would also help to prevent complications.

I am on Lamictal 100mg since last November The last 2weeks been having itchy skin no rash could this be the begging of Steven Johnson syndrome
Female | 68
Lamictal may cause itchy skin without any rash. Although rare, Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a concern. Fever, skin pain, and red or purple rash indicate SJS. If worried, talk to your doctor immediately. They'll determine if it's medication-related or not. Don't stop taking Lamictal before consulting your dermatologist.

I am 26 year old and I am looking for full body skin brightening & lightening treatment along with the total cost for it, can you please help me with the total charges and confirm if it is safe to go with it? Are there any side effects
Female | 26
Regarding skin brightening, one of the treatment that comes to my mind is Glutathione injections, it's free of any severe side effects when used in safe dosage. But I wouldn't recommend anything without prior examination.

Subcutaneous cyst near groin region ,no pain ,no colour change
Male | 20
A subcutaneous cyst is one possible cause of a painless and colorless sad in the groin area. The reason is that when the sac, which is under the skin, is filled with liquid. It is usually not dangerous. Groin cysts can be the clotting of the sebaceous glands or hair follicles. Visit a dermatologist, and they will decide to remove it by cutting or draining it depending on the severity of the problem.

Hi I am suffering from heavy hair fall from last 4 months and also have vitamin d and b12 deficiency and also hair fall is in all side of head and also some hair falling from eyebrows i feel i have also gone through heavy stress VITAMIN B12; CYANOCOBALAMIN, SERUM (CLIA) Vitamin B12; Cyanocobalamin 184.00 pg/mL VITAMIN D, 25 - HYDROXY, SERUM (CLIA) Vitamin D, 25 Hydroxy 62.04 nmol/L This are the test results please suggest me some medicine and are hair fall reason because of vitamin deficiency
Male | 25
Your low levels of vitamin B12 and D together with the stress you were exposed to might be the causes of the hair loss. These deficiencies manifest as hair fall, fatigue, and an overall feeling of being weak. It would be wise to try out supplements of both vitamins D and B12. Along with the stress, relaxation, and activities that you enjoy, a proper diet is the main factor. You can also consult a dermatologist for proper guidance.

Hi Sir, which is the best ointment for rashes on my penis head. Please tell me the reason for rashes coming occasionally on penis head. These rashes are not suffering by any itching. They will disappear in 2 to three days.
Male | 51
You are probably feeling a little bit of discomfort on your penile skin. These rashes may be caused by irritants such as soaps, creams, or clothes rubbing against the skin. Since the rashes disappear within a few days and do not itch, then the chances are they are not the cause for alarm. To prevent rashes from recurring, you can try cleansing with mild, fragrance-free soaps and wipe the area down with a dry cloth. If rashes start to itch, hurt, or stay on the skin over time, it would be better to see a dermatologist.

I have skin related issues.At the starting stage I have itching afterwards I will scratch the skin and formed small bumbs filled with water.And I have the same problem in my toes, finger ,and thighs.And my skin looks like pale red
Male | 21
Eczema seems like your skin issue. It itches and has bumps full of fluid on red areas. Eczema often targets toes, fingers, and thighs. Causes include allergies, dryness, and genes. Using mild soap, moisturizing daily, and avoiding harsh chemicals may help manage eczema's symptoms.

Hello Doctor, From last couple of days I have developed a small red boil on the shaft of penis, it pains on touch. The appearance is small round red in colour with no pus formation and it pains a lot especially on touch or on friction. Kindly advise medications for the same. Thanks and Regards
Male | 40
You may have developed a condition called folliculitis. It happens when hair follicles get inflamed, usually due to friction or bacteria. The red bump on the penis shaft with pain and tenderness can be typical symptoms. For now, you can try warm compresses to help reduce pain and inflammation. Don't touch or squeeze it. If it doesn't improve or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

I’m 16 and want to use nizoral for dandruff but I heard it can block dht. Is it safe to use?
Male | 16
The nizoral shampoo helps with dandruff. Yes, it might affect the DHT hormone linked to hair loss. But no worries, using Nizoral sometimes for dandruff is generally fine. Follow the bottle's instructions carefully. If concerned about hair loss, it's wise to consult a dermatologist to explore other suitable options.

I have too many blemishes on my face
Male | 17
Blemishes can be frustrating, yet they're normal and treatable. Spots or tiny bumps on the skin are classified as blemishes. Clogged pores, bacteria, or hormone fluctuations might cause these. Gently cleansing your face regularly helps. Applying benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid products could improve things. However, avoid popping or squeezing blemishes to prevent scars. If the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for guidance.

Male | 18
The following are the possible causes of this problem: Fungal or yeast infections, burning sensation from soaps or detergents, skin conditions like eczema, and sometimes even staph or other sexually transmitted diseases. Use soft, fragrance-free cleansers for quick relief, wear cotton underwear, avoid the itch, and consult a dermatologist if the itching won't stop.

I have rashes like pimple whole over my body ..what should I do?
Male | 35
You seem to have eczema, a common skin issue. It causes itchy red rashes resembling pimples everywhere. Things like allergies, dry skin, or stress can trigger eczema's flare-ups. Gently cleansing with fragrance-free products and moisturizing regularly may soothe these rashes. However, scratching affected areas risks infection, so avoid that.

Lycomix Q10, on the other hand, is a supplement that contains the active ingredient Coenzyme Q10. It is mostly taken for improving heart health and for boosting energy. Don't forget to consult your doctor to determine if new drugs and/or supplements are right for you.
