Question

I'm thinking about starting minoxidil for my male pattern baldness, but I'm worried about what happens if I stop using it. Will all the new hair I grow just fall out, and will my original hair shed faster than usual? I really want to understand this before I decide. Can you help clarify this for me?

Question

I've been dealing with this severe itching problem around my anal area for a while now. I remember using quadriderm RF cream for a couple of days before, and it used to clear up. But lately, even after applying it, the itching won't go away. I've noticed these dark black skin lines all over the anal area too. Could you recommend any good medications or treatments to help me out with this? I'm really worried and would appreciate some advice.
