Hi there, When it comes to Finasteride, I completely understand why you might be concerned, especially with a baby in the picture. Finasteride is a common treatment for hair loss in men and is generally safe for the person using it. However, we do need to take extra caution when there is a breastfeeding mother nearby. Finasteride can sometimes be present in bodily fluids like semen. Even though the risk of transferring any significant amount through contact is very low, I usually advise patients in similar situations to take some precautions. It is best for your husband to avoid direct contact between the treated areas and the baby or mother, especially for the first few hours after applying the solution. If there is still any doubt or concern, it is always good to check in with your healthcare provider. This ensures you have peace of mind and feel safe while using the medication.
