Ive noticed some white patches on the glans of my penis for the last six months. Theyre easy to remove after washing, but theres also a small red spot inside the foreskin and some light itching.

Question 4

Ive noticed that about 20% of my head hair is turning grey, and recently Ive also seen some grey hairs in my beard. Is Kerablak tablet 200 mg good for grey hair, or is there something else I should try? Can you suggest a tablet or treatment for this?

Accepted Answer

Kerablak tablet is not specifically indicated for treating grey hairs. However, you can try using a supplement containing Biotin, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C to help maintain healthy hair pigmentation. Additionally, using a hair colorant can help cover the grey hairs.

Question 5

I have been using tenovate gn and brite cream for my face from 4 years ,if i stop usage of those creams my skin is becoming dark and getting pimples.

Accepted Answer

Long-term use of topical steroids like Tenovate GN can lead to skin thinning, discoloration, and acne breakouts when discontinued abruptly. Brite cream is a combination of multiple ingredients that help with skin brightening. To address the darkening and pimples upon discontinuation, you can gradually taper off the use of Tenovate GN to prevent rebound effects. You can switch to a milder steroid cream like Hydrocortisone for a short period to help with the transition. For skin brightening, you can consider using products containing ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid.

Question 6

How effective is finpecia? If i use it life long without miss, can i have all my hair? And also is finpecia a better medicine or finax?

Accepted Answer

Finpecia is a brand name for finasteride, which is commonly used to treat male pattern baldness. It is effective in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair regrowth in some individuals. However, it may not fully restore all lost hair. Consistent and long-term use of finpecia can help maintain the existing hair and prevent further hair loss. Both finpecia and finax contain the same active ingredient, finasteride. Therefore, they are equally effective in treating hair loss. The choice between finpecia and finax can depend on individual preferences and tolerability. It is important to follow the recommended dosage as prescribed by your healthcare provider for optimal results.
