Question

I'm considering using Dr. Reddy's Minoxidil topical solution USP 2 for hair regrowth, but I'm not sure if I need to see a doctor for a prescription first. Is it safe to start using it on my own, or do I really need to check with a healthcare professional? I've read a bit about it but want to be certain about any risks or side effects I should be aware of. Would really appreciate your advice!

Question

I've been experiencing some issues after using a bath salt that had Epsom salt or magnesium sulfate in it. Just a couple of days later, I broke out in these red, hive-like rashes all over my body. They're super itchy and have a burning sensation, and there are even some blisters popping up, though thankfully no fever, nausea, or trouble breathing. I'm really worried about how to treat this and also don't want any scars to be left behind. Could you advise on what I should do?

Question

I'm really worried because the front part of my hair is starting to thin out and become bald. Is there anything I can do to help regrow it? Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Question

I'm struggling with dandruff all year round, no matter the weather. I've tried using lemon juice, hair oils, anti-dandruff shampoos, even henna, but nothing seems to work. It's super itchy all the time, and washing my hair every other day hasn't helped at all. I generally have dry skin, but this dandruff issue has really worsened in the past year. Could you please give me some advice on what I might try next?
