Question

I started losing my hair after having COVID and it seemed to settle for a bit, but now its back and even worse. My doctor told me to use 1 ml of minoxidil twice a day and also suggested using 1 ml of a racine pro hair serum, which also contains minoxidil, once a day. I'm a bit worrieddoes using these together make sense? Is it safe to have the extra minoxidil from the serum too?

Question

I've noticed a white patch on my back in the lumbar region for about six months now, and I didn't pay much attention to it until I saw that it's getting bigger. Now there's also a tiny patch on the right side of my abdomen. I went to see a dermatologist, and he mentioned it's vitiligo or leucoderma. My friends mentioned there's no treatment for this. Is that true? What should I do about it?

Question

I'm really worried about some medication I'm on. I'm taking Atarax at night and Allegra 180 in the mornings, and I've been on them for about 30 days now. I've also taken Atarax 25 twice a day for 40 days, Allegra 180 and levocetirizine for 15 days, Atarax 25 again but once a day for 10 days, Prutrax 50mg for 10 days, and Polaramine 5mg for 10 days. I've started noticing more urticaria appearing, and I'm concerned it might be because of this medication schedule. Can this mix of medications increase the risk of hives if taken for longer periods? Would love some advice on what to do next.

Question

I'm currently taking Tricho 5 and Evogard EC, and I'm worried about any possible side effects. Could these medications have any harmful effects on me?
