I just started using Minokem F 5 to try and regrow hair on the bald patches near my front hairline. I'm really curious if it's going to work and if I should be worried about any side effects. Can you provide some insights?

I'm 45 and have these big dark spots on my stomach and thighs. They aren't itchy or anything, just plain but really dark, and it seems like they're spreading. What could they be, and how can I get rid of them?

These dark spots could be a condition called dermatosis papulosa nigra, which is common in individuals with skin of color, like yourself. To help reduce the appearance of these spots, you can try using topical retinoids like Adapalene gel in the evening on the affected areas. Additionally, using a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day can help prevent further darkening of the spots. Make sure to apply the medication as directed by your doctor for best results.

I'm experiencing full body irritation and itching and I've already stopped taking ecosprin. Could you suggest any remedies to help with this? I'm really unsure about what to do next.

Can be due to various reasons. Since you have mentioned that you stopped taking Ecosprin, it could be a possible cause of your symptoms. To help relieve the itching and irritation, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas can also provide relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid scratching the itchy areas to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with this brown mark on my skin after using garlic paste on a pimple, and it's been about 2 months now without any fading. Should I be worried, or is there something I can do to help it heal?
