I've been using Finasteride for the past 10 days to treat my androgenetic alopecia. But I've read about a bunch of potential side effects and now I'm feeling a bit anxious about continuing it. Is there an alternative to Finasteride, or is it safe to keep using it? If I stick with it, how can I manage the side effects?

I'm getting married soon and I'm worried about some nail cut marks on my face that I got from a small kid. Can you suggest ways to heal or lessen these marks before the wedding?
To remove nail cut marks on your face, try these remedies: apply topical creams like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or vitamin E oil; use natural ingredients like aloe vera, turmeric, or cucumber; gently exfoliate with a facial scrub; and consider professional treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy, but consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and to ensure the marks fade before your wedding.

I've been dealing with this really annoying itching all over my body for the past week. I'm not sure what's causing it and it's really starting to bother me. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do about it?
You may be experiencing a condition called urticaria, also known as hives. To help relieve the itching, you can take cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply calamine lotion to the affected areas for soothing relief. If the itching persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
