Hey, I've been on minoxidil for a couple of years now and I'm thinking about stopping the hair for u 2 lotion. I'm dealing with telogen effluvium-related hair loss, and I'm wondering if it'd be okay to switch over to proanagen instead. What's your take on making that switch?

Question

Could you help me figure out how to lighten the skin between my thighs? It's gotten darker, maybe from friction or wearing tight jeans. Also, near the scrotum, the skin is darker because I had ringworm there as a child. What can I do about this?

Question

I've noticed that even at 26, I hardly have any facial hair. I mean, there's a bit of a moustache, but it's not really thick or long. Sometimes I worry about it and feel a bit down. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned about a lack of facial hair? What could be causing this?
