I'm dealing with alopecia for the past five years and have been using minoxidil 10 for about two years. Unfortunately, I haven't noticed much improvement in hair growth. I'm considering a hair transplant now. Could you advise if this is a good option for me?

I've started noticing some white patches on my hip area and they're a bit irritated. I'm worried it might be some kind of fungal infection, but the rest of my body seems fine, no allergy or anything. Also, I'm concerned about preventing any darkening in that area. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this and how to deal with it?
Based on your description of white patches with slight irritation on your hip area, it does sound like a fungal infection, such as Tinea versicolor. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Additionally, to prevent darkening of the hip area, it's important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating. You can also use a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone under the guidance of a dermatologist to help with any darkening that may occur. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.
