I'm looking for a minoxidil product at 5% strength that doesn't have alcohol or propylene glycol. The one I'm using right now is in lotion form, but it's causing some really bad itching. Do you have any recommendations for something else I could try?

-You can try a minoxidil 5% foam instead of lotion, as its alcohol- and propylene glycol-free, reducing the chances of itching. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist for alternatives.

I'm really struggling with these freckles and DPNS on my face. Is laser treatment the only way to get rid of them? And if it is, how much would it cost? Also, I'm looking for a good skin clinic in Bangalore. Any recommendations?

Question

I'm dealing with sudden acne after applying fudic cream on my face. It was prescribed for a skin allergy related to hair follicles. Do you think this breakout could be because of the new VLCC facial kit I used, or is it more likely from the fudic cream? I'm really puzzled and could use your insight.

Question

I'm really curious about how I can tell if my lipoma has completely stopped forming after I've been on homeopathic treatment. Are there specific signs I should look for, or is it something that only a doctor can confirm? I'm kinda worried because I want to make sure the treatment has actually worked and that no new growth is happening. Can you give me some guidance on what to expect or how I might notice if it's all settled down?
