I'm looking for a minoxidil product at 5% strength that doesn't have alcohol or propylene glycol. The one I'm using right now is in lotion form, but it's causing some really bad itching. Do you have any recommendations for something else I could try?
-You can try a *minoxidil 5% foam* instead of lotion, as its alcohol- and propylene glycol-free, reducing the chances of itching. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist for alternatives.

How long does it usually take for vitiligo to spread? I've had these spots on my neck, leg, and hand for about four years now, and they haven't really changed in size. Should I be worried about them getting bigger or appearing in new places?
The spread of vitiligo varies from person to person. In some cases, the patches may remain stable in size and number for years, while in other cases, they may spread rapidly. Since you have had the spots for 4 years with the same size, it is possible that the condition may remain stable for you. To help prevent further spread of vitiligo, you can consider using topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas. Apply a thin layer of the cream twice daily for a few months to see improvement. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB light can also be beneficial in managing vitiligo. Remember to protect your skin from sun exposure as it can worsen the condition. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on the affected areas when going outside.
