Question

I've been taking griseofulvin as prescribed and now I've noticed that my ear lobes and the skin under my nose have started peeling and are now scabbing over. I'm not sure what to do about it. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm thinking about switching from Finpecia to Finalo 1mg because it's a bit more affordable. Is Finalo a good alternative, and are there any other cheaper brands youd recommend? I'm just trying to find a cost-effective option thats still safe and effective.
