I've been taking finax 1mg tablets for about 2 months now. I'm 27 years old and I've noticed an increase in body hair on my hands, legs, and chest. Can you help me understand why this is happening all of a sudden?

Finax 1mg tablets contain Finasteride, which is commonly used to treat hair loss in men. However, one of the side effects of Finasteride can be increased body hair growth. This is known as hirsutism. It is important to note that not everyone will experience this side effect, but it can happen in some individuals. If you are concerned about the increased body hair growth, you may consider discussing this with your healthcare provider.

I've been dealing with pimples on my face and body, and I've heard doctors refer to it as acne. For the past two weeks, Ive been taking Hamdard Safi, and it looks like it's helping clear up my acne. However, I'm concerned because Ive read and heard from some folks, including a few doctors, that Safi might have a lot of arsenic, which could be bad for your body, especially your kidneys. Can you shed some light on whether it's actually safe to keep taking Safi?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
