I'm currently using minoxidil 5% for my male pattern baldness and getting PRP treatments too. But the minoxidil is giving me dandruff, and I've been washing my hair every other day. I'm wondering if it's okay or even beneficial to wash my hair every day instead. Any advice on this?

I'm experiencing some allergic reactions on my face after using tretin. I was advised to start with applying it for 10 minutes, then move to 20 minutes, and eventually increase the duration gradually. But there was this one time I left it on for a longer period, and that's when I noticed these reactions. There are dry patches on the affected area now. What should I do?

I'm noticing these rashes popping up anywhere on my body, mainly in the morning and evening. Theyre itchy, red, and kind of rashy like pithi dafad, and they tend to disappear after a while. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?

It seems like you are experiencing a skin condition called Urticaria, also known as Hives. This condition presents as raised, itchy rashes that come and go. To help relieve the itching and redness, you can take Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas can also provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
