I've been using this face cream that didn't suit my skin, and now my face has become darker. It's really bothering me. How can I get rid of these effects?

I've been using finax 1mg for hair loss for the last 15 days and honestly, my hair loss had already stopped before I started taking it. But now, it seems like my hair loss is worse, so I'm really thinking about quitting the medicine. I'm just concernedare there any side effects if I stop after only 15 days? Any advice would be super helpful.

Finax 1mg, containing finasteride, is a medication primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Why You Might Be Experiencing Increased Hair Loss 1. Initial Shedding: Finasteride can cause an initial shedding of hair, especially during the first few months of treatment. This is a common phenomenon, and hair growth should stabilize over time. 2. Hormonal Adjustments: Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss. However, this hormonal adjustment can sometimes lead to temporary increased hair loss. Stoping Finax 1mg After 15 Days 1. No Significant Side Effects Expected: Since you've only been taking Finax 1mg for 15 days, it's unlikely that you'll experience significant side effects from stopping the medication. 2. Rebound Effect: However, you might experience a rebound effect, where your hair loss returns to its pre-treatment state or even worsens temporarily. 3. Hormonal Readjustment: After stopping finasteride, your hormone levels will readjust, which might lead to temporary changes in hair growth patterns.

I'm really struggling to find a cleanser or face wash that's gentle enough for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I need something that wont burn or irritate but can still clean my pores deeply, getting rid of all the dirt and makeup residue in just one wash. At the same time, it should be effective against my acne and pimples. Any recommendations?

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