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 dealing with this skin thing that's kinda like a fungal infection, where I get these red rings. Sometimes it clears up on its own but then comes back. I'm trying to figure out which cream is better for it, Panderm Plus or Zoderm E? Any advice would be awesome!
Based on your description of a recurring fungal infection with red ring-like lesions, both Panderm Plus (clotrimazole + beclomethasone) and Zoderm-E (clotrimazole) can be effective; however, Panderm Plus might be a better option as it combines an antifungal (clotrimazole) with a mild steroid (beclomethasone) to reduce inflammation and itching

I've had white hairs around my right eye for more than 30 years now, and I'm starting to feel a bit concerned about it. In my younger days, I tried some homeopathic remedies, but I haven't been on any treatment lately. Is there anything you'd suggest I look into? Could it be a sign of something more serious?
That needs evaluation,visit Dermatologist for the same and appropriate management

Do split ends stop hair growth?
Split ends do not stop hair from growing. Hair will continue to grow based on your hair growth cycle, whether or not you have split end.
