Questions on Mixing Hims Fin/Min with Kirkland Min for Lower Side Effects

I took 1mg oral fin once and got bad sides. I applied Hims min/fin 6%/0.3% once in 4 spots and got less bad sides.

Until I can see a dermatologist I’m planning to try to mix the Hims min/fin to Kirkland min to achieve the smallest dose of topical fin that would be even somewhat effective. But I have a couple questions:

  1. Is this a reasonable approach? Or am I better off crushing the oral fin and mixing in?

  2. Is this math correct? I should ensure the resulting mixture has 0.005% fin so when I spray it in 4 spots it comes out to 0.2% fin overall?

mixing Hims min/fin with Kirkland min can lower fin concentration further. don’t crush oral fin; it’s tough to control dose/topical absorption. your math seems off - applying a 0.005% solution in multiple spots doesn’t add up to 0.2%. diminishing effects don’t multiply like that, stick with your current method if it’s working better for sides. check The Beginner’s Guide for more info.
