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 considering switching from Skinlite cream, which I stopped using after my dermatologist suggested Botanica 3D serum. I saw good results with the serum, but now another dermatologist has recommended Depiwhite cream for skin lightening. I'm worried about the safety of using Depiwhite and whether I might experience the same side effects as with Skinlite, since it had steroids. Do you think Depiwhite is safe, or is there another good skin lightening cream you'd suggest?
Depiwhite cream is a safe option for skin lightening as it does not contain steroids like Skinlite cream. You can use Depiwhite cream for skin lightening. Another good skin lightening cream option is Kojic acid cream. You can apply Depiwhite cream or Kojic acid cream on the affected areas of the skin twice a day for best results.
