View allI'm dealing with androgenic alopecia and was told to take finpecia 1mg along with minoxidil. I was advised to use finpecia for just 3 months, but I'm not sure about what happens to my hair growth if I stop after that time. I'm really confused because I've come across different opinions online. Do I need to be on this medication for life? And isn't there a risk of becoming impotent if I use it continuously?
No need to worry you are using very minimal and therapeutic dose no such side effects would come trust your doctor and follow their advice

I've been using Neutrogena sunscreen for quite some time, but after running out and not using it for about a week, I noticed it started causing breakouts when I applied it again. I have acne-prone and combination skin, so I'm really concerned. What sunscreen would work best for me?
It is important to choose a sunscreen that is non-comedogenic and oil-free to prevent further breakouts. I recommend trying "La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Dry Touch Sunscreen SPF 60". Apply a generous amount to your face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every 2 hours or immediately after swimming or sweating. This sunscreen is specifically designed for acne-prone skin and provides high protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
