You can try using an antiperspirant specifically designed for sensitive areas like the scrotum. Apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily before bedtime. This can help reduce sweating and keep the area dry and comfortable.

Question 4

I've been using Finasteride (Finpecia 1 mg) for the last four years and it has worked very well for me and now I've started working out and intend to use whey protein supplement. Will that have an adverse effect or reaction with Finpecia?

Accepted Answer

Finasteride (Finpecia 1mg) and whey protein supplements are generally considered safe to use together, as they work through different mechanisms and have distinct metabolic pathways. Finasteride is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Whey protein supplements may increase kidney workload, but this is typically only a concern for individuals with pre-existing kidney issues.

I had applied Candid cream and also dusted Clocip powder however i get this itchy thing back. Feels good upon scratching but irritates later on.

Please suggest any good ointment prescription.
Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole, Miconazole, or Terbinafine, and for itching, apply a topical steroid cream like Hydrocortisone; also, try an anti-itching cream like Sarna or Calamine; if the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for a prescription and proper diagnosis, as recurring itching and irritation may indicate an underlying skin condition.
