I've been dealing with some really itchy red rashes after using Nair hair removal a few days ago. It's driving me crazy! Do you have any recommendations for a cream or something to help soothe it?

View allI'm currently taking finasteride 1mg and using minoxidil 5%, and I'm wondering if it's okay to add ashwagandha 500mg to the mix. From what I've gathered, ashwagandha can reduce inflammation and lower cortisol, which could be linked to DHT formation, but it also might boost testosterone levels. I'm trying to figure out if this combo might help keep my testosterone levels balanced. Lately, I've been noticing some muscle loss, inflammation, and fatigue, so I'm a bit worried if I might have low T. Can you give me some guidance on this?
You're considering adding ashwagandha to your existing regimen of finasteride and minoxidil. Ashwagandha's Effects on Testosterone and DHT 1. Testosterone Increase: Ashwagandha may help increase testosterone levels, which could potentially counterbalance the testosterone-reducing effects of finasteride. 2. DHT Reduction: Ashwagandha's anti-inflammatory properties might help reduce DHT levels, which could complement the DHT-reducing effects of finasteride. 3. Cortisol Reduction: Ashwagandha's adaptogenic properties can help reduce cortisol levels, which may contribute to a decrease in DHT formation. Potential Benefits of the Combination 1. Balanced Testosterone Levels: The combination of finasteride (reducing DHT) and ashwagandha (potentially increasing testosterone) might help maintain balanced testosterone levels. 2. Reduced Inflammation: Ashwagandha's anti-inflammatory properties could complement the anti-inflammatory effects of minoxidil, potentially leading to reduced inflammation and improved overall health. 3. Improved Muscle Mass and Fatigue: Ashwagandha's adaptogenic properties might help alleviate fatigue and improve muscle mass, although more research is needed to confirm this.

I'm really worried about this itchy groin I've had for the past couple of years. I tried using clobenategm last month for about ten days, and it seemed to clear up, but then the itch came back worse and started burning too! Now, I'm trying candidb clotrimazole gel but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? I'm really desperate for a solution.
Consult a dermatologist for further guidance, as the recurrence and worsening of symptoms may indicate a more complex condition
