I'm dealing with a ringworm skin allergy that's been bugging me for the last month. I've seen a bunch of doctors, but nothing's completely worked. It's really dark in that spot now, and Ive noticed its starting to spread. Any tips on medicines that might totally fix this? Also, how can I get my skin back to normal?

I've been using Minoxidil for about three weeks now, as my dermatologist suggested it. But after reading about the side effects and realizing that I might have to continue using it for life, I'm starting to have second thoughts. I'm really hoping to improve my hair health by changing my lifestyle and managing my stress levels instead of relying on medications like this. Could you guide me on how to safely stop using Minoxidil without causing too much hair loss? Should I be gradually reducing it from twice a day to once a day, then maybe every other day, or is there another method youd recommend? Also, if you could give me some advice on foods that are good for hair health and ways to have a healthy lifestyle, I'd really appreciate it.

Minoidil works better for hair fall and when you are satisfied with your hair you can wheen it off,also consume protien and vitamin rich food for better results

I've been dealing with typhoid and according to my CBC report, my platelets are low. For a few months now, I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss. My doctor suggested taking biotin 5 mg for a month, but it hasn't helped. Could there be something else causing this or any other suggestions you might have?
