I've been getting these small itchy bumps on my calves and lower arms lately, and I'm really worried. They itch a lot, and when I scratch them, they end up bleeding and forming scabs. It's starting to freak me out. Any idea what's going on with my skin?

Question

I've got these nail marks on my face, and I'm really hoping you could tell me how to get rid of them. What's the best way to tackle this issue?

I've been using xpecia gel and keraxl hair serum for about two weeks just like my dermatologist recommended. I'm concerned because Im not seeing any changes, and Ive read that my hair should be shedding if the minoxidil is doing its thing. Plus, my hair is really short since I've recently gone bald. What should I be doing differently?

Question

I'm really worried because my hair was falling out at an alarming rate, but I've been oiling and massaging my scalp, and the hair fall has almost stoppedonly about 4 or 5 strands per day now. I'm just 19, and I've noticed some bald patches. Is there any way I can regrow the hair Ive already lost in those areas?
