I'm a 20-year-old guy who's been dealing with alopecia for the past 2 years, and it's been really tough. I've tried all sorts of lotions and medicines, but nothing seems to work. I've given Ayurvedic, natural, and medical treatments a shot, but still no luck. Honestly, it's taking a toll on my mental health, and I'm avoiding social events because of it. Could you suggest the best way to tackle this problem? I would really appreciate your help.

Question

I'm considering switching from Skinlite cream, which I stopped using after my dermatologist suggested Botanica 3D serum. I saw good results with the serum, but now another dermatologist has recommended Depiwhite cream for skin lightening. I'm worried about the safety of using Depiwhite and whether I might experience the same side effects as with Skinlite, since it had steroids. Do you think Depiwhite is safe, or is there another good skin lightening cream you'd suggest?

Question

Is it okay to use minoxidil and folliserum at the same time? Can they help control my hair fall? I'm really confused because I'm losing hair so early and I don't even know why. I have a pretty bad lifestyle though I eat a lot of tasty foods but not much fruit, drink little water, and I masturbate daily, which I can't seem to stop. Do you think these habits could be causing my hair fall? Doctors say masturbation is healthy, but it always leaves me feeling weak, sleepy, and moody, plus I'm very thin. Could this be affecting my hair and self-respect?

Question

I'm a bit worried about the medication my doctor prescribed. It's Canditral 200, Histafree M, Omnacortil 5, and I'm also using Lulibrut cream. I'm just wondering if these are the right meds for my condition? Could you help me understand if this combination is safe and effective?
