How should I use Onabet SD solution? Should I mix it with water, or just apply it directly? And after applying it, how long should I wait before washing my hair? I'm a bit confused about the instructions and want to make sure I'm doing it right.

To apply Onabet SD solution, you should first wash and dry the affected area thoroughly. Then, apply enough solution to cover the affected area and the surrounding skin. It should be applied directly without diluting it with water. After applying the solution, you should not wash the area for at least 3-4 hours to allow the medication to be absorbed properly. It is recommended to apply Onabet SD solution once or twice daily as directed by your healthcare provider.

I'm looking for some advice on diet and medication after having PRP treatment. I'm hoping to get the best results possible. Also, I've heard about MORR F Red and I'm a bit worried. If I start using it, could it cause problems if I decide to stop later? What do you think?

After PRP treatment, it is important to follow a healthy diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals to support hair growth. Additionally, you can consider using Minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) to promote hair regrowth. As for MORR F, it is a combination medication containing Minoxidil and Finasteride. Finasteride helps to prevent hair loss by blocking the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles. However, it is important to note that Finasteride may cause negative effects if stopped abruptly. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before starting MORR F and to follow their guidance on proper usage and discontinuation.

I've been dealing with hair loss and dandruff since 2013 and nothing seems to work. Ive tried antibiotics, tretinoin, and special shampoos, but I still have severe hair fall, with hair roots attached to these little sebum beads. It's even affecting my back and shoulders now. I don't have those dandruff scabs anymore, but my scalp gets super dry after washing and then it's oily and smells bad the next day. My vitamin D and ferritin levels are low, and even though I've taken meds for that, it hasnt helped much. My periods are lighter than they used to be, but my TSH and prolactin levels are normal, and I dont have PCOS. I also have really poor digestion and feel exhausted doing physical tasks. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a combination of issues including hair loss, dandruff, oily scalp, dry scalp, low vitamin D and ferritin levels, scanty periods, normal TSH and prolactin levels, poor digestion, and fatigue. For severe hair fall with hair roots attached with sebum beads, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or ciclopirox olamine to help with dandruff and scalp inflammation. Additionally, minoxidil solution can be used to promote hair growth. To address the oily and smelly scalp, you can use a medicated shampoo containing coal tar or salicylic acid to help control oil production and odor. For low vitamin D and ferritin levels, you can take vitamin D supplements and iron supplements as prescribed by your doctor to help improve these levels. To address the scanty periods, you can consider hormonal therapy or oral contraceptives to regulate your menstrual cycle. For poor digestion and fatigue, you can try incorporating probiotics into your diet, eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise to help improve your digestion and energy levels. It's important to follow up with your dermatologist and other healthcare providers for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I've been using Glyco 6 for a few weeks now to help with my acne, as my dermatologist recommended. But I've noticed that my skin tone seems to be getting duller. I'm confused if this is an effect of the Glyco 6 or something else. I make sure to use sun protection when I'm outside, so I'm not sure what's happening. Could the Glyco 6 be causing this or should I be looking into other factors?
