I'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?

View allMy face is totally covered with blackheads and whiteheads, except on my forehead. I scrub twice every day because otherwise I feel too self-conscious to go out. I've tried tons of dermatological products, including the PERNEX my last dermatologist suggested, but nothing has worked. Do you know anything that might actually help? I'm feeling really frustrated about this situation.
It sounds like you have tried various dermatological products without success. In this case, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Differin (adapalene) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can use a salicylic acid cleanser like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. Use it twice daily to help unclog pores and prevent new blackheads and whiteheads from forming. Remember to moisturize your skin as retinoids can be drying. Be patient as it may take a few weeks to see improvement.
