What Is The Use Of Persivate

I am Diagnosed with an Alopecia areata and prescribed to use persivate on my head where there are patches. Am advised to use for unlimited time and my doubt is what if the medication would bring about worse side effects on my skin and hair when used for a long time? ## This is a steroid, so there are no guarantees that it will work to stimulate hair growth. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin irritation, dryness, flaking, redness, and acne. Are you on any other medications? It may help, but the only way to know is by actually trying it.

I want to know is that Terrasil Max can cure my genital warts at my anus area? ## There is not cure for genital warts, they are caused by an STD and once you are infected, you will always have it. Terrasil Max is an over the counter product, that really isn't proven to help with anything, it contains a complex of minerals and it may not be safe to use in the genital area. Have you consulted a doctor for proper treatment? There are some medications, such as antivirals, that can lessen the frequency of recurrences. ## I'm 38 years and was recently diagnosed with genital warts. Can pet vat (persivate) ointment help to make them disappear?
