I'm a bit worried because I've been using minoxidil 5% for about five days now, and I've really been struggling with getting a good night's sleep. Could this sleeplessness be a side effect of minoxidil?

I'm a bit worried because my serum globulin level came back low at 2.8 in my recent liver function test. The normal range is listed as 3.0-4.8. Everything else in my liver profile seems okay, but I'm experiencing some issues like loss of appetite, flaky skin, dry skin rashes, hair fall, and even dents in my nails. Could the low serum globulin be the cause of these symptoms? I'm really curious about what's going on.

I've been dealing with really itchy rashes and red patches for the last three days and its getting pretty frustrating. I'm using Zovirax tablets and Ocuvir cream, but I'm not sure if they're really helping. Should I be doing anything else, or could this be something more serious?

Stop taking the medication.U can use calasoft lotion for local application for 7 days and also tab allegra 120 mg bedtime orally for 5 days is advised to the patient.
