Question 1

I started losing my hair after having COVID and it seemed to settle for a bit, but now its back and even worse. My doctor told me to use 1 ml of minoxidil twice a day and also suggested using 1 ml of a racine pro hair serum, which also contains minoxidil, once a day. I'm a bit worrieddoes using these together make sense? Is it safe to have the extra minoxidil from the serum too?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called blepharitis, which is inflammation of the eyelids. The recurrence of the eye infection and ongoing hair loss may be related to this underlying issue. I recommend using a combination of antibiotic eye drops like Tobrex (tobramycin) and a mild steroid ointment like Tobradex (tobramycindexamethasone) for the eye infection. Additionally, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide for the hair loss. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for these medications. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

For pigmented skin, consider using oil-free, non-comedogenic night creams containing ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, licorice extract, or kojic acid, such as Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Night Moisturizer, Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream, or La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Eye Cream, but always patch test and consult a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.
