View allI'm thinking about using finax but at a really low dose, like maybe 0.5 mg per week. Do you think that would still be effective, and should I be worried about any side effects from such a small amount?
Using Finax (finasteride) at a lower dosage, such as 0.5 mg per week, is a common practice, especially for individuals who are concerned about potential side effects or are sensitive to the medication. Potential Benefits 1. Reduced risk of side effects: Lowering the dosage may minimize the risk of side effects, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or breast tenderness. 2. Still effective for hair loss: Finasteride, even at lower dosages, can still be effective in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair growth. Potential Drawbacks 1. Reduced efficacy: Lowering the dosage may reduce the medication's efficacy in treating hair loss or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 2. Variable response: Individual responses to finasteride can vary, and some people may not respond as well to lower dosages. Side Effects at Lower Dosages While lowering the dosage may reduce the risk of side effects, it's essential to remember that individual responses can vary. Some people may still experience side effects, such as: 1. Decreased libido 2. Erectile dysfunction 3. Breast tenderness 4. Mood changes Monitoring and Adjustments If you decide to use Finax at a lower dosage, it's crucial to: 1. Consult your doctor: Inform your doctor about your decision to reduce the dosage, and ask for their guidance and monitoring.

I've had a burn scar on my left chest since I was 3 when boiling water spilled on me. Now that I'm 18, it gets really irritated and tender by the end of the day when my clothes rub against it. Sometimes there's this dull, stabbing pain too. I've been using aloe vera gel, which helps cool it down, but once it dries, the irritation comes back. There's no inflammation or infection, though. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?
Yes that needs evaluation,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I've had multiple small lipomas on both hands for the past 23 years, with some on my stomach and chest too. About 12 of them hurt when pressed hard. New ones keep appearing, and some older ones are getting bigger. Every doctor I've seen says surgery is the only option, but there are so many and I'm worried about scarring. Is there a safe treatment that can stop new lipomas from forming?
excision is advised to the patient,also surgery opinion at apollo hospital for further tt.
