Question

I've got dark and oily skin with some acne marks, and I'm really hoping to lighten my skin tone. I've been hearing about creams with kojic acid that might help reduce melanin, but I'm not sure if they're right for me. Can using kojic acid actually help with my complexion? Would it be safe for my oily skin, and will it do anything for my acne scars?

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'm really concerned because I've noticed a black spot on the head of my penis and around it for about 4 years now. There's no itching, but I'm really eager to get them removed. Can you please help me figure out what this might be and how I can get rid of it?

Question

I'm considering using Tugain for hair regrowth because a friend recommended it along with biotin supplements. They also mentioned that I should start taking a DHT suppressor after three months. I'm just wondering if this is a safe and effective plan for my scalp. What do you think?
