View allI've been getting rashes on my ears, forehead, and nose whenever I use minoxidil. Is there any way to keep using it without having these allergic reactions?
To minimize the irritation, you could try switching to a foam formulation, use a lower concentration, apply it to dry skin, and use a gentle moisturizer. If the irritation persists or worsens, consult with a dermatologist for alternative treatments or to manage the allergic reaction.

I'm using Scarend gel for my acne scars. Do you think it's effective if I keep using it for a long time? I'm really struggling with bad acne scars and open pores. Are there any treatments you could suggest that might give up to 90% improvement?
For up to 90% improvement in acne scars and open pores, consider combining Scarend gel with treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing, microneedling, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, under the guidance of a dermatologist.
