Question

I've been dealing with pretty bad hair loss for a while now. A couple of years back, I went to a dermatologist who suggested using Dr. Reddys Mintop 5 topical solution together with Finax 1 mg tablets for about two months, which worked really well initially. My hair loss went down, and I even saw some regrowth. But then from June 2014 until January 2017, I continued using Mintop. After that, I switched to ayurvedic and homeopathic remedies for about 45 months. Unfortunately, that seemed to make everything worse, as my hair started falling out again in clumps. I'm really worried and not sure what steps to take now. Could you give me some advice?

Question

I've been dealing with this rough skin inside my mouth and inner lips, and it's starting to worry me. I'm making sure to stay well hydrated and take care of my oral hygiene, but this issue just won't go away. It's affecting both the inside of my cheeks and my lips. Can you offer any advice on what might be causing this and how to get rid of it?

Question

I've been having some issues with acne, especially whiteheads, and I think it might be a side effect from the B12 injections I had. The injections were Nervijen Plus and had ingredients like Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin, and Niacinamide. I got two shots, one on December 25th, 2017, and the other on January 1st, 2018. I'm wondering how long this acne could last? Every morning there's a new whitehead popping up. It's not as bad as it was, but it's still pretty annoying. Is there anything I can do or take to make this stop?
