I'm dealing with itching around my pubic hair area that's been going on for two weeks now. It's becoming more persistent and I'm noticing my skin is getting dry there too. There's no doctor nearby and I'm not sure what steps to take. Could you advise me on what I should do?

To alleviate itching and dry skin in the pubic hair area, try applying over-the-counter antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole, calamine lotion, or aloe vera gel, and maintain good hygiene, drying thoroughly after bathing, while seeking medical attention from dermatologist as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

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.

try using separate pillows from now and use minoxidil 30min before bed
