I've noticed that every time I apply sunscreen, my face breaks out in rashes. Could you recommend a good sunscreen that might not cause this reaction?

View allI'm dealing with some hair loss issues and I've heard about Finax as a possible solution. How safe is it to use, and what are the chances that it will help with hair regrowth? Could you also let me know if a prescription is necessary for it?
Finax is a popular medication for hair loss, but its safety and effectiveness depend on various factors. What is Finax? Finax is a brand name for Finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It's primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) but is also effective in promoting hair growth and slowing down hair loss. Safety Profile Finasteride is generally considered safe when used as directed. However, like any medication, it can cause side effects, such as: 1. Sexual dysfunction: Decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. 2. Breast tenderness or enlargement: Rare but possible. 3. Mood changes: Depression, anxiety, or mood swings. Efficacy for Hair Regrowth Finasteride has been shown to be effective in promoting hair growth and slowing down hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Studies have demonstrated: 1. Hair growth: Finasteride can increase hair growth by 10-15% over a 2-year period. 2. Hair loss reduction: Finasteride can reduce hair loss by 30-40% over a 2-year period. Prescription and Dosage Finax is a prescription medication, and you should consult a doctor before starting treatment. The typical dosage for hair loss is: 1. Finasteride 1mg: Take one tablet orally once a day.

I'm really curious about using Fair & Lovely, Vicco turmeric cream, and Himalaya fairness cream on my face. Are these creams safe for facial skin, and which one would you recommend as the best option? I've heard different things and just want to make sure I'm choosing the right one for my skin. Any advice would be great!
Among these, Vicco turmeric cream is considered safer as it contains natural ingredients like turmeric which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is best to use Vicco turmeric cream for the face. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the face once or twice daily for best results.

I'm really worried about this situation. I used podowart paint on my warts, and after about four days, the warts did fall off, but now my foreskin is swollen, red, and there's a brown discharge coming from my penis. It's painful, and there's been a bit of bleeding starting too. I saw a doctor who prescribed an antibiotic, but it hasn't helped with the pain or bleeding yet. Plus, I'm dealing with diabetes. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?
