I'm experiencing some male pattern hair loss around my temple area and forehead, and I'm really curious about what I can do about it. Have you found Procapil to be effective, or is Capixyl the better option in your experience?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For male pattern hair loss, particularly in the temple and frontal areas, consider using minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride (Propecia) as they are FDA-approved and clinically proven to promote hair growth and slow down hair loss; regarding Procapil and Capixyl, both are proprietary blends with some evidence suggesting their effectiveness in promoting hair growth, with Procapil possibly having a slight edge due to its combination of apoptosis-inhibiting and hair growth-promoting compounds, but consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

View allI'm dealing with this macular amyloidosis and it's really getting on my nerves. I've got these pigmentation issues popping up on my upper back, legs, and hands, and now it's spreading to my neck too. The itching is just unbearable in these areas. Im really looking for some guidance on what kind of treatment I should go for. Is there any real cure for this?
Macular amyloidosis is a chronic skin condition that can be challenging to treat. To help manage the pigmentation and itching, I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream such as Clobetasol propionate 0.05%. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Loratadine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. It is important to keep the skin well moisturized, so I suggest using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil. Avoid scratching the affected areas to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

My underarms are really dark and it's been bothering me for years. I don't want to go for surgery are there any effective creams or other non-surgical solutions that can lighten them permanently? I've even stopped wearing sleeveless clothes because of this
Dark underarms can be effectively lightened with topical creams, chemical peels, or laser treatments, but permanent lightening is not guaranteed. While some home remedies like lemon juice or turmeric might offer temporary improvements, they are not a long-term solution. Consult a dermatologist to determine the best course of action for your specific case.
