Alopecia barbae, which is a type of hair loss that affects the beard area, can be treated with minoxidil solution. You can apply minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the affected area. It may take several months to see significant improvement, and treatment may need to be continued long-term to maintain results.

Question

I've had this boil that healed a while back, but now there's this hard lump left behind. It's not hurting or anything, but it does itch sometimes. It's been like this for about three months now. Is this something I should be worried about, or will it eventually just go away on its own?

Question

I'm really concerned about my face turning darker and more oily since I moved to Bangalore. My skin used to be wheatish, but over the past 1.5 months, it has almost turned completely black. It's really upsetting because it's only affecting my face, and nothing I've tried, like washing or whitening creams, is making a difference. I usually just use mild soap and never really used facial creams for anything else. I'm not sure who to ask about this, even though I bumped into an Ayurveda doctor last week who noticed my skin change but didn't suggest anything to fix it. Any advice on what might be happening or how to get my skin color back would be really helpful.

Question

I've been dealing with a persistent Tinea infection on different parts of my body like the inner thighs, groin, belt area, and armpits for nearly 45 months now. I tried a treatment course for a month, taking Tab Prugo 10 once daily, Cap Canditral 100 once a day, and using Ointment Propyzole at night and Ointment Sebifin during the day. I repeated this twice with an increased dosage the second time. Each time I take the medicine, the infection seems to go away for a bit but then comes back once I've finished the course. Can you suggest a more effective treatment to finally get rid of this Tinea for good?
