Can I use coconut oil after putting on Tugain foam? My hair gets really dry from it, so I'm wondering if it's okay to apply some coconut oil to help with that.

Yes, you can use coconut oil after applying Tugain foam. It can help moisturize your hair and scalp. You can apply a small amount of coconut oil to your hair, massage it gently, and leave it on for a few hours before washing it off.

Timing: Apply Tugain foam (Minoxidil 5%) first and let it dry completely (20-30 minutes) before using coconut oil.
-
Moisturizing: Coconut oil can help alleviate dryness and flakiness caused by Minoxidil.
-
Patch Test: If new to coconut oil, test a small area on your scalp for irritation.
-
Consistency: Use coconut oil sparingly to prevent excessive oiliness.
If dryness continues or irritation occurs, consult a dermatologist for alternative solutions.

View allI'm noticing a bunch of moles popping up on my face and neck, and I'm also dealing with acne. I've been using Acnelak soap twice a day to wash my face. Do you have any tips or methods for cleaning that might help me get clearer skin?
To address moles, acne, and achieve clear skin: *Cleaning Method* 1. *Gentle cleanser*: Replace Acnelak soap with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser (e.g., Cetaphil or Neutrogena). 2. *Warm water*: Cleanse your face with warm water instead of hot water. 3. *Pat dry*: Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel. *Additional Tips* 1. *Exfoliate*: Exfoliate once or twice a week using a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 2. *Toner*: Use a toner to balance your skin's pH and remove any remaining impurities. 3. *Moisturize*: Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. 4. *Sunscreen*: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. 5. *Avoid picking*: Refrain from picking or squeezing acne or moles, as this can lead to scarring and infection. *Professional Advice* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess your skin and provide personalized advice. 2. *Mole evaluation*: Have your moles evaluated by a dermatologist to determine if they are benign or require further attention.

Got these water boils on my back and under my left arm near the breast. They're kinda painful, and I do get this very mild, rare itch. Also, sometimes I feel a pinch of pain in my chest. Could you suggest any medicine for this? Is it something serious, or is it curable?
No need to worry it's curable,do not scratch it or squeeze it, Visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I'm dealing with a hair fall issue, and my doctor suggested using Diprovate Plus. The problem is, I've forgotten exactly how I'm supposed to use it. Should I be applying it directly to the scalp? I'm really unsure and a bit concerned about using it wrong. Could you guide me on this?
YES it can used.
