Question

I'm worried because I've been using minoxidil for the past 20 days, and now I'm experiencing heavy hair fall and even noticing a new bald area. I'm really concerned and wondering if I should stop using minoxidil and finasteride. Have you seen this happen before, and is there something else I could try?

Also, I'm wondering about what foods I should eat or avoid. Is it okay to have dal, ghee, chicken, eggs, fish, or wheat during this time? Plus, is it safe to hit the gym with this condition? Would appreciate any advice you can offer!

Question

I'm thinking about getting Q-switch Nd:YAG laser treatment for my dark lips and I'm a bit concerned about its safety. If the dark pigmentation on my lips is removed, will it come back again? I dont think its genetic since no one in my family has it, and Im not a smoker. I developed it when I turned 13. Could it be related to mild PCOS?
