Question

I'm experiencing some male pattern hair loss around my temple area and forehead, and I'm really curious about what I can do about it. Have you found Procapil to be effective, or is Capixyl the better option in your experience?

For male pattern hair loss, particularly in the temple and frontal areas, consider using minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride (Propecia) as they are FDA-approved and clinically proven to promote hair growth and slow down hair loss; regarding Procapil and Capixyl, both are proprietary blends with some evidence suggesting their effectiveness in promoting hair growth, with Procapil possibly having a slight edge due to its combination of apoptosis-inhibiting and hair growth-promoting compounds, but consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

Question

Is it normal for an HIV rash to come and go within just 30 minutes? I'm trying to understand if there's a connection between hives and HIV, or if it's more likely that these symptoms are due to stress. I've tested HIV negative after 3 months, but I'm still dealing with a white tongue, diarrhea, and weight loss. Should I be worried about these symptoms?

Question

I'm only 18, and I'm really worried because I'm facing pattern baldness at such a young age. I'm the only one among my peers with this V-shaped hairline; everyone else my age has a straight hairline. I feel like I'm odd one out and really don't know how to cope with this. Honestly, it makes me feel very self-conscious and upset. I'm aware that the usual treatments are things like propecia and rogaine, or finasteride and minoxidil, but I'm thinking about taking Dutasteride avodart instead. Could that be a good option for me? I'm just wondering if this will help or if there's something else I should consider. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
