Question 2

Hi doc, Ive heard that drinking beetroot and carrot juice every morning can help brighten the skin. Is this really true? Im curious if it actually makes a difference or if its just a myth.

Question 3

There are cracks on the foreskin & they become worst if the skin is pulled back. What ointment should i apply

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing a condition called balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend applying an antifungal and anti-inflammatory ointment such as Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area after cleaning it properly. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry can help with the healing process.

Acutret 20mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat acne. While isotretinoin is effective for acne, it can have some side effects. Hair loss is a rare side effect of isotretinoin, but it can happen in some cases. If you are experiencing hair loss or any other concerning side effects, it is important to consult your doctor.

Accepted Answer

If you are looking to promote beard and mustache growth, you can consider using minoxidil solution 5%. Apply 1ml of minoxidil solution twice daily directly on the affected areas of the face. It may take several weeks to months to see visible results, so consistency is key. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals can also support hair growth.
