I'm a bit worried because I developed a painful lump under my right armpit after waxing. It disappeared with some antibiotic cream, but I still feel a light pain there. I'm really anxious about whether this could affect my breast area. Could you advise me on which specialist I should see about this?

I've been using morrf5 for about five months now. It was working well and really helped with my hair fall, but over the last couple of weeks, I'm noticing that the density on my left temple is decreasing, and my scalp is becoming more visible, even though I'm still using minoxidil. Could this be just a shedding phase, or is there something else going on?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I have a black mole on my face and I really want to get rid of it but I'm scared of surgery. Are there any other treatments that can remove it safely? What options do I have?

Mole removal can be done with laser, radiofrequency, or excision. Laser is less invasive but may need multiple sessions. A dermatologist can guide based on mole type.
