I'm really confused about what's happening with my skin lately. I had a fungal infection around my waist and was taking Zyrtec tablets along with using several creams. The infection cleared up, but now every time I stop taking the Zyrtec, I start itching all over my body. When I take it again, the itching stops. Why does this keep happening?

I'm 26 and I've noticed that my hairline is receding, especially around my temples. I saw a dermatologist and they recommended I use Hair Joy 5 Minoxidil foam. I've started using it, but I'm experiencing a rapid heartbeat and I'm getting anxious about possibly having chest pain. I really want to keep using the minoxidil, but the side effects, especially the palpitations, are really worrying me. What should I do?

If you are experiencing rapid heartbeats and are worried about chest pain, you should discuss this with your dermatologist. They may recommend adjusting the dosage or trying a different formulation of minoxidil. In the meantime, you can consider using a different hair growth product such as "Rogaine" foam which contains minoxidil and is known to have fewer side effects. The recommended dosage for Rogaine foam is usually 1g applied to the affected area twice daily. Remember to always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I'm using this Botanica 3D serum and Cetaphil cleanser because I'd lost my facial glow from past steroid use. My specialist suggested this regimen, and thankfully, my glow is back and no issues so far. How long should I keep up with this routine? Should I stick with it or think about switching things up?
