I noticed a hard, movable lump on my left cheek near my nose today. It's small but I'm really concerned about it. Could you help me understand what this might be? I'm feeling a bit anxious.

I'm worried because I've been using minoxidil for the past 20 days, and now I'm experiencing heavy hair fall and even noticing a new bald area. I'm really concerned and wondering if I should stop using minoxidil and finasteride. Have you seen this happen before, and is there something else I could try?

No, ccontinue same treatment as advised by the dermatologist.

I got this boil on my nose about two weeks ago. At first, it was just a red bump, but then it filled up with pus. It wouldn't pop on its own, so I decided to pop and drain it yesterday. Now it's all red and swollen. What should I do now?

don't scratch it or squeeze it basic topical antibiotic ointment would help in healing,if it grows visit Dermatologist for treatment.
