I'm really worried about these garlic burns on my face - are they going to be temporary or could they end up being permanent scars? How long does it usually take for something like this to heal? And if you have any natural remedies that could help, I'd really appreciate it.

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I've been dealing with hair loss for the past year and initially had some success with minoxidil 5 foam and dutasteride dutamax. But after three months, I switched to minoxidil 5 liquid and duprost dutasteride, and now my hair's shedding like crazy again. Could this be because I changed my meds? What can I do to stop my hair from falling out? I've stopped using the liquid minoxidilis it better to go back to the foam and the original dutasteride?

It seems like the change in your medication from minoxidil 5% foam and dutasteride dutamax to minoxidil 5% liquid and duprost dutasteride may have contributed to the increased hair shedding. I recommend switching back to minoxidil 5% foam and dutasteride dutamax as they were working well for you before
