I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I'm trying to figure out if I should use Indulekha hair oil or minoxidil for my hair loss. I came across minoxidil online and noticed there are so many different products with that name. Which one would be more effective for my thinning hair and receding hairline? Also, do you think I should consult a dermatologist first before starting any treatment, or can I just go ahead and use one of these? I'm really worried as I notice a lot of hair falling out when I wash it. Any advice would mean a lot.

For hair loss, Minoxidil (Rogaine) is a clinically proven treatment, while Indulekha hair oil is a herbal supplement with limited scientific evidence; consider consulting a dermatologist before starting any treatment, as they can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss and recommend the best course of treatment.

I've been dealing with really itchy rashes and red patches for the last three days and its getting pretty frustrating. I'm using Zovirax tablets and Ocuvir cream, but I'm not sure if they're really helping. Should I be doing anything else, or could this be something more serious?

Stop taking the medication.U can use calasoft lotion for local application for 7 days and also tab allegra 120 mg bedtime orally for 5 days is advised to the patient.
