I'm a little confused about the instructions my dermatologist gave me. They told me to apply 1ml of minoxidil once a day at night, but I thought the usual dosage was 2 ml, like once in the morning and once at night. I'm wondering if this is right or if maybe there was a mistake. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm really worried because I had a Fungal Infection Tinea cruris in my groin area last year and got it treated with Lulifin cream and Abzorb powder. Now, I'm seeing some traces of the infection coming back, and Lulifin is nowhere to be found in stores. Could you suggest an alternative to luliconazole that I can use?
