I'm noticing that every time I thread my upper lip, a white patch shows up that's lighter than my normal skin color. I've talked to a doctor online who recommended using Placentrex cream twice a day. I'm curious about how to get my skin back to its usual color. Also, I have an iron deficiencycould that be causing this? What should I do next?

View allI've been getting rashes on my ears, forehead, and nose whenever I use minoxidil. Is there any way to keep using it without having these allergic reactions?
To minimize the irritation, you could try switching to a foam formulation, use a lower concentration, apply it to dry skin, and use a gentle moisturizer. If the irritation persists or worsens, consult with a dermatologist for alternative treatments or to manage the allergic reaction.

I've been dealing with a mild itch around my anus, so I put some Dettol on it. Now it's a bit swollen and there's this weird sticky feeling that won't go away, even after I clean it with water. There's no pain, though. Could Dettol have caused this, or is it just something from the itch itself? What can I do to get rid of that sticky sensation?
Discontinue using Dettol, as it can be too harsh for anal skin, and instead, try the following to alleviate the sticky feeling and swelling: clean the area gently with warm water; apply a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic soap or a mild cleanser specifically designed for anal care; pat dry, avoiding rubbing or scratching; apply a thin layer of a soothing cream or ointment, such as hydrocortisone or aloe vera gel; and consider taking an oral antihistamine or applying a topical antihistamine cream to reduce itching and inflammation.
