Question

I've been using minoxidil and procapil for my hair loss, but my hair's been really dry lately, and I'm worried it might be making the hair loss worse. Is it okay if I use hair oil along with these treatments? Could the dryness be contributing to the hair issue?

I'm really confused about what's going on with my skin. I've been noticing some uneven tone and these dark patches, especially near my nose. I'm trying to figure out if this is due to tanning or if it's something to do with pigmentation. Can you help me understand the difference between the two?

Question

I'm considering getting another chemical peel for my acne because a doctor recommended it and also suggested using a skin lightening cream. I'm curious if it's okay to go ahead with both treatments. Would you say that using the skin whitening cream and continuing with the chemical peel is a safe and effective plan, or should I be concerned about any side effects or issues? What do you think I should do?
