I'm 27 and dealing with severe male pattern baldness, and now I've got dandruff too. I'm wondering if I can use minoxidil 5% solution even though I have dandruff. I'm thinking of shaving my head and starting with a dandruff shampoo, and then maybe using minoxidil after a couple of weeks. But I'm worried about any severe side effects this solution might have on my body. Is it safe to use?

View allI'm thinking about using Skinlite cream for just a week, and I'm a bit worried. Can using it for only seven days cause any harm? Would love your advice.
Using Skinlite cream, which contains hydroquinone, for only 7 days is unlikely to cause significant harm, but it's essential to follow the recommended usage and consult a dermatologist, as prolonged or excessive use can lead to skin darkening, irritation, or other adverse effects.

I've been dealing with ringworm on the back of my neck for over six months now, and I'm really struggling to find relief. Ive tried using TezcortGM ointment, but every time I apply it, painful boils appear after a few days. It's really uncomfortable, but if I stop using the ointment, the ringworm spreads and gets itchy and exfoliates. I've also tried taking SAFI, but it hasn't been much help either. I've seen a doctor, but that didn't seem to work out. This condition only affects my back neck and nowhere else on my body. I'm really hoping for some advice on how to manage or cure this issue.

Podofilox solution topically. Additionally, Imiquimod cream can be applied at bedtime. For herpes infection, you can take Valacyclovir orally. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.
