I'm curious about this change in my treatment plan. My new doctor switched me from minoxidil to proanagen solution and kera XL serum. She mentioned it's to avoid dependency on minoxidil. Does this sound like the right approach to you?

This can be a reasonable approach to prevent dependency on minoxidil. Proanagen solution contains minoxidil along with other ingredients to promote hair growth, while Kera XL serum is likely a hair care product to support overall hair health. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and use these medications as prescribed. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further guidance.

I've been noticing my eyebrow hairs falling out a lot lately. Every time I touch my eyebrow, a couple of hairs come out. Just yesterday, I noticed a small bald spot on my right eyebrow. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Small bald spot on eyebrow with hairs falling out could be due to a condition called alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to hair loss. In this case, I would recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected area to promote hair growth. Additionally, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like Clobetasol propionate 0.05% once daily to reduce inflammation and encourage hair regrowth. If the condition persists, it is important to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with this seborrheic dermatitis for like five years now and it feels like I've tried almost every treatment out there. I'm starting to get really frustrated and I'm not sure what else to do. Is there something I might be missing or any other options I should consider?
In cases where conventional treatments have not been effective, a prescription medication like Ketoconazole shampoo (2%) can be helpful. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol propionate cream (0.05%) can be applied to affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
