View allI've been working as an assistant professor at an engineering college, and I've been using a skin cream called My Fair for about two months. But just last week, I went to my village and spent a lot of time working under the sun in the fields. This made my skin turn extremely dark. My friend, who recommended the cream, said I should have used sunscreen when going out. Thankfully, my skin's back to normal with the same cream, but I'm really troubled by what happened. Can you give me some advice on how to prevent this in the future and how to deal with this dependency on the cream? Id really appreciate some guidance.

I'm a 28-year-old guy dealing with male pattern baldness. I went to see a dermatologist, and they suggested I try Minoxidil, Finasteride 1mg, and Keraglo AD. After using Finasteride for about a month, I've noticed some side effects like a drop in libido and more watery semen. I decided to stop taking Finasteride because of this. Is there another way to control my hair loss or another medication that can help block DHT and maybe even encourage hair growth? Would really appreciate your advice.
Since you have experienced side effects from finasteride, an alternative medication you can consider for stopping DHT and promoting hair growth is Dutasteride. Dutasteride works similarly to finasteride but is more potent. You can discuss with your dermatologist about the possibility of switching to Dutasteride. Additionally, you can continue using Minoxidil 5 for promoting hair growth. It is important to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management of your male pattern baldness.
