I'm curious about the candid lotion USP my doctor recommended for my hair treatment. Is it really good for use and are there any side effects I should be aware of?

I'm an 18-year-old and I've been really worried about my hair lately. It's been falling out a lot, and I've read that it might be male pattern hair loss. I've tried using minoxidil because I heard it helps, but it actually made everything worse. I've still got a decent amount of hair and I really want to keep it that way. What should I do to stop it from getting worse?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection between my last two toes on both feet. I used to use Lulifin Lotion from Ranbaxy, and it worked to keep it under control. But lately, I can't find it anywhere. Could you recommend another option? Also, I have to use a dusting powder like Tzyo or Candid every day because the space between my toes is narrow. Is there a permanent solution you could suggest?
