Hey, I've been on minoxidil for a couple of years now and I'm thinking about stopping the hair for u 2 lotion. I'm dealing with telogen effluvium-related hair loss, and I'm wondering if it'd be okay to switch over to proanagen instead. What's your take on making that switch?

View allI'm a bit unsure about something regarding my daughter's skincare routine. You mentioned on Saturday that she should use Dermadew cream or Fairlite in the morning. But she was also told to use Clindac gel for her pimples in the morning. Should she still keep using the gel, or is it just one of the creams now? How should we be using these together?
when ever she has active acne then she can use clindac gel during bedtime,rest of the days she can contine those creams,donot use both the crames at a time.

I'm curious about something that's been happening to me. Whenever I step into a really hot car, I start getting goosebumps. It's a bit odd because I don't usually experience goosebumps in warm weather. Is this something I should be worried about, and why does it happen specifically in hot cars?
That could be due Phobia or hypersensitivity,just avoid such situations
