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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
-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.

View allI've been struggling with a fungal infection on my penis for the past 1.6 years. I've tried using Surfaz cream, which seems to help for a few weeks, but the infection always comes back. I'm really frustrated with this recurring issue. Can you please tell me if there's a permanent solution to get rid of it for good?
Maintain personal hygiene like take bath twice daily and wear clean clothes etc., visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment which includes oral and topical antifungals.

I've been experiencing some issues after using a bath salt that had Epsom salt or magnesium sulfate in it. Just a couple of days later, I broke out in these red, hive-like rashes all over my body. They're super itchy and have a burning sensation, and there are even some blisters popping up, though thankfully no fever, nausea, or trouble breathing. I'm really worried about how to treat this and also don't want any scars to be left behind. Could you advise on what I should do?
Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to use lacto calamine for treating dark spots. Im also curious if it could end up making my skin look dull or even darker. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Lacto Calamine can be used to treat dark spots on the skin. It contains ingredients like zinc oxide and glycerin which help in reducing dark spots and improving skin tone. It is unlikely to make your skin dull or darker. Apply a thin layer of lacto calamine on the affected areas twice a day for best results.
