I'm having some issues with my nails and went to a dermatologist. They didn't find any fungal elements in the KOH mount test, but the doctor prescribed me Clonate lotion and Lyotin Forte tablets. Can I start using these, and is it really okay to apply Clonate lotion on my nails? Are there any side effects I should be aware of, and could you explain the proper way to use them? I'm really anxious to figure this out soon!

I've been noticing some hair thinning and reduced density, especially on my crown, over the last 23 months, and I'm getting a bit worried. A doctor mentioned pattern baldness might be a possibility. I'm curious about what steps I can take to prevent or at least delay this from my side. Are there specific dos and don'ts I should be aware of? I've also got a picture of my scalp if that helps.
To prevent or delay further hair loss, you can consider using minoxidil solution, which is available over the counter. Minoxidil is known to promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Another option is finasteride, a prescription medication that can help in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair regrowth. It is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, as deficiencies can contribute to hair loss. Avoid tight hairstyles, excessive heat styling, and harsh chemical treatments, as these can damage the hair and worsen the condition. Additionally, managing stress levels and getting adequate sleep can also support hair health. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations and guidance tailored to your specific needs.
