I'm planning to switch to a different brand of minoxidil after using my current one for 5 months because it's getting hard to find. I'm wondering if changing brands might have any impact on my hair. Could it cause any changes or issues I should be aware of?

View allI've got these lesions all over my body and they're really itchy. Plus, I've developed some thick blisters on my hands and palms. I tried using permethrin cream and taking ivermectin 12, but nothing seems to be helping. What could this be, and what should I do next?

I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and was wondering if it's safe to get my eyebrows and upper lip threaded. I also have pretty sensitive skin, so I'm a bit concerned about how it might react. Would love to get your thoughts on this!
Yes, it is generally safe to do eyebrow threading and upper lip threading during pregnancy, especially in the early stages like 8 weeks. However, since you have sensitive skin, it is important to be cautious. You can use a numbing cream containing lidocaine before the procedure to minimize any discomfort. Additionally, make sure the salon follows proper hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection.

I've been dealing with these round-shaped rashes that itch in some spots for about three weeks now. I already saw a dermatologist and tried the medication they recommended, but it still hasnt cleared up. Should I be worried that its taking this long to go away? Do you think I should get a second opinion or try a different treatment?
It seems like you are experiencing a persistent rash with itching sensation. Since the medication prescribed by the dermatologist did not provide relief, I recommend trying a different approach. You can try using a combination of hydrocortisone cream and antihistamine such as Cetirizine. Apply the hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas and take Cetirizine 10mg once daily for relief from itching. Make sure to follow this regimen for at least a week and see if there is any improvement in your symptoms.
