I'm having really thin hair and a bald spot on my forehead. My doctor advised me to use Mintop Eva 5, Anaboom anti-hairfall serum, and Trichon Forte tablets, but ever since I started using them, it feels like my hair is falling out even more, and it's getting worse. Can Mintop Eva cause more hair fall at first? Is there any way to stop my hair from falling out like this? And is there any chance I can regrow hair on the bald spot on my forehead? I'm really worried, and I'd love some guidance.

Mintop Eva 5% (Minoxidil) can sometimes cause increased hair shedding initially, but this is usually temporary and is a sign that the medication is working to stimulate new hair growth. It is important to continue using it as prescribed by your doctor. To help stop your hair fall, you can try switching to a different hair growth medication such as Finasteride or Dutasteride, which can be effective in treating male pattern baldness. Additionally, using a shampoo containing Ketoconazole can also help with hair loss. For growing hair on the frontal bald spot, you can consider hair transplant surgery as a permanent solution. It is important to consult with a dermatologist or a hair specialist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I have a small chickenpox scar on my face and I've tried all kinds of scar removal creams but nothing worked. Now I'm thinking about surgery but wanted to check if laser treatment could remove this scar instead. Does laser work for old chickenpox scars like mine?

Laser resurfacing can improve old chickenpox scars, but complete removal may not be possible‚Äîconsult a dermatologist.

I've been dealing with this issue for quite some time now. The skin on my buttocks is really dry and itches intensely, often leading to red marks and constant peeling. I've been using Onabet lotion, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Any idea what's going on or what can help?

Use a combination of Clotrimazole cream and Hydrocortisone cream. Apply a thin layer of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) followed by a thin layer of Hydrocortisone cream (such as Cortaid) on the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
