Question

I'm dealing with hair loss and got my blood work back, showing my vitamin D level is really low at just 6. My doctor gave me a vitamin D injection and advised a follow-up dose in six months. I'm wondering, how long will it take for this injection to actually boost my vitamin D levels? Should I be taking any supplements in the meantime to help out?

Question

I've been dealing with the early stages of frontal male pattern baldness, and my dermatologist suggested a few treatments like Finpecia tablets, Keraglo men, F Clin shampoo, and Minopep solution. I've started with the first three and have complemented them with a nutrient-rich diet including sea cod liver oil, eggs, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, and green tea. Thankfully, I've started seeing improvements, like less hair fall and thicker hair. But I'm feeling a bit anxious about using Minopep solution. I've heard that once you start using minoxidil products, you have to keep using them indefinitely. Is that really the case? And does sticking to a good diet really make a difference for hair health?

Question

I've noticed some dark spots under my armpits and the skin there is quite a bit darker than the rest of my skin. It's strange because there are these dark spots on the upper part too. Should I be worried about this or is there something I can do about it?

Question

I've been taking a tablet that my skin doctor recommended to boost my immunity and help prevent warts. But now, just a couple of days later, I've started getting mouth ulcers. Could the pills be causing this, or is it because of the hot weather? My stomach seems perfectly fine, no issues there.
