View allI've just gotten over Covid last Sunday, but now I'm dealing with these really uncomfortable skin rashes on my neck, armpits, and under my breasts. I've tried using prickly heat powder and coconut oil, but things seem to be getting worse and now I've got these red patches under my breasts. Theyve become really sensitive too, and I'm getting pretty scared because I'm not sure what's happening. The rashes are painful and making me really uncomfortable. Could this be related to my recent illness, or is it something else? What should I do?

I'm thinking about using finax but at a really low dose, like maybe 0.5 mg per week. Do you think that would still be effective, and should I be worried about any side effects from such a small amount?
Using Finax (finasteride) at a lower dosage, such as 0.5 mg per week, is a common practice, especially for individuals who are concerned about potential side effects or are sensitive to the medication. Potential Benefits 1. Reduced risk of side effects: Lowering the dosage may minimize the risk of side effects, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or breast tenderness. 2. Still effective for hair loss: Finasteride, even at lower dosages, can still be effective in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair growth. Potential Drawbacks 1. Reduced efficacy: Lowering the dosage may reduce the medication's efficacy in treating hair loss or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 2. Variable response: Individual responses to finasteride can vary, and some people may not respond as well to lower dosages. Side Effects at Lower Dosages While lowering the dosage may reduce the risk of side effects, it's essential to remember that individual responses can vary. Some people may still experience side effects, such as: 1. Decreased libido 2. Erectile dysfunction 3. Breast tenderness 4. Mood changes Monitoring and Adjustments If you decide to use Finax at a lower dosage, it's crucial to: 1. Consult your doctor: Inform your doctor about your decision to reduce the dosage, and ask for their guidance and monitoring.
