I'm a 23-year-old guy struggling to grow a beard. Do you think using minoxidil could help? If so, what dosage would be safe and effective? Are there specific brands or instructions I should follow? I'm really eager to grow a beard.

Question

I'm noticing some baldness on the top back of my head and I just stumbled upon this FollicleRx product. I'm curious whether it's actually safe to use. Do I need a prescription to buy it, or can I just get it over the counter? Any advice would be really helpful.

Question

I've been smoking for the past five years, and about a year ago, I noticed a white spot on my lips but didn't think much of it. Now I see another spot on the other side. I've quit smoking recently, but I'm worried about these spots. How can I get rid of them?

Question

I've been dealing with this intense itching on my butt for the past 10 days, and it's not the first time I've experienced it. It seems to disappear on its own eventually, but I'm noticing a pattern where there's no visible rash or anything on my skin. However, when I do scratch, the area gets swollen and itches even more. Any idea what could be causing this or how I can get some relief?
