I'm having a really tough time with hair fall lately, and after checking in with a dermatologist, they suggested I take Triboost tablets. The problem is, I can't seem to find these tablets in any medical store around Bangalore. Could you recommend an alternative that's more easily available? I'm kind of worried and would really appreciate your advice.

I'm a 26-year-old guy dealing with hair fall, and I've even got bald spots on my scalp. I really want to know how to open up pores on my scalp so my hair can grow back. Are there any treatments or medications that actually work? What's the best option out there, and should I be worried about any major side effects from these treatments?

To open pores on your scalp and promote hair growth, you can consider using minoxidil solution. Apply 1ml of minoxidil solution twice daily directly onto the scalp in the hair loss area. This can help stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. Another option is to use finasteride tablets, which can help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. The usual dosage is 1mg tablet once daily. Both minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for male pattern baldness and have shown effectiveness in promoting hair growth. Minoxidil solution may cause side effects such as scalp irritation, itching, or dryness. Finasteride may cause sexual side effects such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction in some individuals. It is important to discuss with your healthcare provider before starting any medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

I've been using Doxycycline 100mg, deriva bpo gel, and saslic ds face wash as part of my skincare routine for about 15 days now, just like my dermatologist suggested, and they want me to continue for another 15 days. But I've noticed my face is getting darker, especially around the eyes, which I think could be hyperpigmentation from the deriva bpo. Even though my doctor saw the pictures and thinks I should keep going, I'm really worried about this change. What should I do?

I'm experiencing a lot of itching all over my body when I wake up in the morning, and it's causing hives to appear everywhere. It's really unbearable and the itching just doesn't seem to stop. What could be causing this and how can I find some relief?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
