I've been dealing with this hair issue for about two to three months now and I'm taking biotin tablets and using Zycafy M daily. I've been wondering if adding minoxidil would help with hair regrowth. Do you think it would be beneficial to start using it, or should I continue with the current routine? I'm really looking for some advice on the best next steps.
yes you can use minoxidil as an addon but use it as advised by your doctor because there are various concentrations of minoxidil which is decided over severity of hair fall,apart from this consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair.

I'm concerned because I've had dark skin and hyperpigmentation around my chin for a long time. Can you recommend any solutions or treatments that might help?
To address hyperpigmentation around your chin, start by incorporating sunscreen and targeted treatments like vitamin C or niacinamide into your daily routine. Exfoliation with AHAs or BHAs can also help, and consider adding a retinoid to speed up skin renewal. If needed, consult a dermatologist for more advanced treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy.
