Question

I've been struggling with these ugly dark spots on my legs for over a decade now. They're from allergic reactions to insect bites and I've also had a habit of picking at the swellings. I'm really frustrated and am wondering if Mederma might be the solution. I've heard about glycolic peeling too, but lasers are just way out of my budget. What do you think I should do?

Question

I'm a 33-year-old guy and I've been using Minokem N 5 lotion, which has Minoxidil, Azelaic acid, and Tretinoin, for about 7 years now. While my hair loss seems under control, I haven't seen any major hair growth. So far, I haven't experienced any side effects, but I'm a bit worried about whether there could be any long-term effects if I keep using this. Is this combo safe to use indefinitely, or should I be looking out for any specific issues?
