I'm really worried about my hair thinning and I've heard about minoxidil for hair growth. Can you tell me which pharma company's minoxidil 5% is best for women? Also, how long should I use it to see real results?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The minoxidil 5% solution for women, commonly used for hair growth, is available under various brand names such as Rogaine or Kirkland. It is advisable to use it consistently for at least 4 to 6 months to see noticeable results. The recommended dosage is usually 1 milliliter applied to the affected scalp area twice daily.

View allI'm dealing with multiple lipomas on both of my hands. I've spoken to dermatologists at APOLLO Hospital in Chennai and Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, and they advised me to just ignore them since they won't cause harm now or in the future. But honestly, I'm still quite worried, especially since they're growing in number and size. I'm a vegetarian, I don't drink or smoke, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to treat or manage these lipomas. Could you help me understand what my options might be?
Lipomas are usually harmless, but if they are increasing in number and causing concern, there are medications that can help reduce their size or prevent new ones from forming. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.

I recently noticed a new mole on the inside of my thigh and I'm kind of worried. It's not flat and has an irregular shape, plus one side is darker than the other. Should I be concerned even though it doesn't seem to be getting any bigger?
