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.

View allMy keratosis pilaris is really bad all over my body arms, chest, stomach, legs, shoulders, thighs. I've seen multiple dermatologists but nothing has worked so far. Right now I'm using Retino-A 0.0025 but even that isn't helping much. Are there any laser treatments or plastic surgery options for KP in Mumbai?

Can I use Dermadew soap on my face? I've been struggling with acne there. When I had back acne, this soap really worked miracles and cleared it up. Now that the acne's on my face, I'm wondering if it would be safe and effective to use it there too. On top of that, Im dealing with atopic dermatitis on my face as well. Could using the soap worsen this skin issue?
yes continue the medications as advised by the dermatologist.

I've noticed a dark horizontal line on my nose after I used to pick at the whiteheads there. It's been a year, and while it's faded slightly, it's still pretty visible. Should I be concerned? Do I need to get treatment for this, or will it just fade away over time?
It sounds like you may have developed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on your nose due to the picking and peeling of the skin. To help fade the dark line on your nose, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. An example of such a cream is Tri-Luma, which can be applied once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin and prevent further darkening. If the dark line persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
