I'm dealing with a hair fall issue, and my doctor suggested using Diprovate Plus. The problem is, I've forgotten exactly how I'm supposed to use it. Should I be applying it directly to the scalp? I'm really unsure and a bit concerned about using it wrong. Could you guide me on this?

I'm having this issue where my skin has been looking really dry for about a year now, and I've noticed these black dots, but they're not on my face, just the rest of my body. It sometimes feels itchy, probably because of the temperature or something. I'm starting to get worried and I'm thinking about getting some treatment for it. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

#NAME?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm a little confused about the instructions my dermatologist gave me. They told me to apply 1ml of minoxidil once a day at night, but I thought the usual dosage was 2 ml, like once in the morning and once at night. I'm wondering if this is right or if maybe there was a mistake. Could you help me understand what's going on?
