Question

I'm curious about this change in my treatment plan. My new doctor switched me from minoxidil to proanagen solution and kera XL serum. She mentioned it's to avoid dependency on minoxidil. Does this sound like the right approach to you?

This can be a reasonable approach to prevent dependency on minoxidil. Proanagen solution contains minoxidil along with other ingredients to promote hair growth, while Kera XL serum is likely a hair care product to support overall hair health. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and use these medications as prescribed. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further guidance.

Question

I'm dealing with an infection near my belly button, and it's been causing some pus discharge. I used soframycin initially and then tried Fucidin cream, which helped a bit with the discharge, but there's still some redness and irritation around the area. I've also been on antibiotics and taken some anti-inflammatory tablets like Zerodol. Today, I noticed some hairy material coming out, which I think might be related to the umbilical cord. Could you advise me on what steps I should take next?

Question

I've been dealing with a lot of itching on my testicles and the surrounding areas for the last few days. I've also noticed about 8 to 10 pimples have appeared on the skin of my testicles. The itching seems to get worse at night. I've tried using coconut oil, but it hasn't helped. What could this be, and should I be worried?

Question

I'm really confused about the difference between hair tincture and minoxidil. I've been dealing with female pattern hair loss and want to make sure I'm using the right treatment. Can you help me understand how these two are different and which might be more effective for my situation?
