After experiencing a rash, burning sensation, and scarring from using Veet Cold Wax Strips on your upper lip, apply a soothing topical cream like aloe vera gel, hydrocortisone cream, or calamine lotion to calm the skin, and avoid using wax strips for a while, considering alternative hair removal methods like threading or sugaring.

Cream/Gel/Lotion: Wash and dry the infected area of the skin. Take a small amount of cream/gel/lotion on the finger and gently rub on the clean and dry affected area and surrounding skin. It is only for external use. Avoid contact of cream/gel/lotion with the nose, mouth, or eyes. In case it comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Wash your hands before and after using cream/gel/lotion if hands are not the affected area to prevent the spread of infection.Shampoo: Wash your hair with the shampoo and leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes. Then, rinse thoroughly with water.

Question 5

If we use finax at lower dosage say 0.5 per week will it be benificial and will it cause side effects?

Accepted Answer

Using Finax (finasteride) at a lower dosage, such as 0.5 mg per week, is a common practice, especially for individuals who are concerned about potential side effects or are sensitive to the medication.

Potential Benefits

1. Reduced risk of side effects: Lowering the dosage may minimize the risk of side effects, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or breast tenderness.
2. Still effective for hair loss: Finasteride, even at lower dosages, can still be effective in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair growth.

Potential Drawbacks

1. Reduced efficacy: Lowering the dosage may reduce the medication's efficacy in treating hair loss or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
2. Variable response: Individual responses to finasteride can vary, and some people may not respond as well to lower dosages.

Side Effects at Lower Dosages

While lowering the dosage may reduce the risk of side effects, it's essential to remember that individual responses can vary. Some people may still experience side effects, such as:

1. Decreased libido
2. Erectile dysfunction
3. Breast tenderness
4. Mood changes

Monitoring and Adjustments

If you decide to use Finax at a lower dosage, it's crucial to:

1. Consult your doctor: Inform your doctor about your decision to reduce the dosage, and ask for their guidance and monitoring.
