I'm dealing with Androgenic Alopecia and in the past, I've seen good results with Minoxidil and Finasteride. However, after my daughter was born, I stopped using them for about two years and now I've lost my hair again. I'm considering starting Minoxidil lotion again, but I'm worried. If my daughter shares my pillow, could it have any negative effects on her skin or hair? I really don't want to cause her any problems.

I'm currently undergoing treatment for acanthosis nigricans, and my doctor recommended using a radiofrequency technique to get rid of some small black spots under my arm. I recently moved to a new city, and I'm wondering if I can continue this treatment here. Is this something I should be concerned about when changing locations, or can I just find a local specialist to continue with the radiofrequency treatment?

I'm really curious about what's going on with the left side of my waist. It's been really itchy and irritated for weeks, especially where my pants sit. There are some red bumps that look like a rash, but it doesn't hurt, just itches a lot! It's only in one small area about the size of an orange. I'm pretty sure it's not Shingles because I'm not in pain. And I do have allergies sometimes. What could this be?
