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?

Question

I'm allergic to Dettol and Savlon and whenever I use them on my skin, I get rashes and red spots. A few days ago, I had a skin prick allergy test and they cleaned my skin with something that probably had the same ingredient, so I've ended up with really itchy red rashes and spots on both my forearms. Do you think this could be causing a more severe reaction? How should I treat these rashes, and is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again in the future?

Question

I'm curious about melanin cream and if it's safe to use on my face every day. Im 20 and in college, so I'm wondering if it will really give my skin a glow like they say it does. Could you let me know if it's a good idea, or if there's something better out there for skin tone? Looking forward to your advice.

Question

I've been waxing my arms today and ended up with these bad bruises right in that bendy area where nurses usually take blood samples. It's not like it's my first time waxing, but this is definitely the first time I've gotten bruises like this. Is it normal for this to happen? What might be causing these bruises?
