I recently lost my prescription for hhomega and mx 10 topical solution that I use for hair loss. I'm not sure how often I should apply them each day and whether it's better to use them before or after meals. Can you help clarify this for me? I'm a bit worried about getting it wrong.
To use Homega and MX 10% topical solution for hair loss, you can follow these instructions: Homega: Apply Homega topical solution on the affected area of the scalp twice a day, in the morning and evening. It is recommended to apply it on dry scalp. MX 10% topical solution: Apply MX 10% topical solution on the affected area of the scalp once a day, preferably in the evening. It is also recommended to apply it on dry scalp. Both medications can be applied either before or after meals, as it does not have any specific requirement for food intake. Remember to wash your hands before and after applying the solutions to avoid any unwanted contact with other areas of the body.

I've noticed that my lips have been super dry lately, even though I've been taking riboflavin supplements and using seacod. I've also been applying Betnovate N ointment, but nothing seems to help. Should I be worried, or is there something else I should be doing to fix this?
stop ointment and just moisturise
