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?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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.

I'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.

Recently, I got hit on my nose with a mobile phone, and it left a scar after healing. My dermatologist recommended Suderma Scar reduction gel, and I've been using it for two months now, but I haven't noticed any improvements. I'm getting a bit concerned about the scar not fading. Is there something else I should be doing or trying?

I'm curious if onion juice can actually help with a scalp fungal infection and get rid of those pesky white flakes on my scalp. I know it has sulfur in it, so does it make a difference in this case? Would love some guidance on this!
