I'm dealing with this really annoying skin thing that seems like ring guard or something similar. It's causing a lot of itching and burning sensations. Do you have any ideas on what kind of medication might help with this?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've got this sore on my inner thigh from my thighs rubbing together, and I've been using Betadine on it but it just won't heal. Can you tell me what else I should do?

That could be friction rub or fungal infection, maintain personal hygiene and visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I've been on Finasteride Finpecia 1 mg for about four years now, and it's been working great for me. But I've recently started hitting the gym and want to start using whey protein supplements. I'm a bit worried if the whey protein could react or interfere with the Finpecia. Is it safe to use both together? What should I know before I go ahead with it?

Finasteride (Finpecia 1mg) and whey protein supplements are generally considered safe to use together, as they work through different mechanisms and have distinct metabolic pathways. Finasteride is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Whey protein supplements may increase kidney workload, but this is typically only a concern for individuals with pre-existing kidney issues.
