Question

I'm struggling with my curly and dry hair, and I'm on the lookout for a good shampoo and conditioner. I've heard that it's important for these products to be paraben and SLS free, and Im wondering if that's really necessary or if sticking to a reputable brand would be just as effective. What do dermatologists generally think about using paraben and SLS-free products?

Question

I've been dealing with these weird spots on my legs and arms that break out and itch. I try not to scratch too much, and after the itching stops, I notice these purple dots that look kind of like hickeys. It's strange, but hopefully that's a good description. Then the area bruises and gets really tender. It usually clears up after a week or so. I'm wondering if you have any idea what this might be.

Question

I'm a bit worried about my hair situation, specifically on the top and crown area. I've attached a picture for reference. Will using Minoxidil 5% help with this, and also, can it bring back my receding hairline? I'm really looking for some advice here.
