I'm curious about Refollium for hair regrowth. It claims to show results in 30 days, but I'm concerned if that's really true and if there are actually no side effects. Could you give me some advice on this? I'm hoping for a quick response.

I'm dealing with something really weird for almost a year now, the skin on my penis has been super dry. Every time I take a shower and try to clean it, the skin cracks open, which is really painful. I constantly have to put on Vaseline to stop it from drying out even more. Even the inside of the skin feels pretty dry. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've been diagnosed with LPP after a biopsy, and I'm dealing with black pigmentation on my face, underarms, and neck. At first, I didn't think much of it, but it's been spreading. I've been on medication for about six months now, using tacrolimus ointment since September 2016, and I did phototherapy for a while. But after phototherapy, my skin got so dry and dark that I just had to stop because it was really getting me down. My new doctor prescribed me Depiwhite and Pynomax TX cream for alternate nights and xamic tablets for a month. The thing is, when I looked up xamic, it seems to be meant for stopping excessive menstrual bleeding, but my periods are pretty regular, so I'm kind of worried about taking it. Could you please offer some advice on what I should do?

It is understandable to have concerns about taking a medication that is typically used for a different purpose. In your case, Xamic tablet (Tranexamic Acid) can also be used to reduce skin pigmentation and improve skin tone in conditions like LPP. The recommended dosage for skin pigmentation is usually 250-500mg twice daily. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and continue with the prescribed treatment plan. If you have any further concerns or experience any side effects, it is best to discuss them with your doctor for proper guidance.

I've noticed that my forehead is a lot darker than the rest of my face, and it's been like this for almost two years now. I initially thought it was just a tan and have tried all sorts of things, like getting regular facials and home remedies, but nothing seems to be working. Any advice on how I can fix this?
