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 having trouble finding Dipsalic F ointment at medical stores since they said it's not being made anymore. I've been using it for an allergic reaction, and nothing else I've tried is as effective. Can you suggest the best substitute for this ointment? I'm really concerned about finding something that works as well.
Since Dipsalic F ointment is unavailable, I'll suggest some alternatives with similar ingredients: *Alternatives with Salicylic Acid and Urea* 1. *Ursal 10% Ointment*: Contains urea (10%) and salicylic acid (3%). 2. *Keralyt 5% Gel*: Has salicylic acid (5%) and urea (10%). 3. *Salex 6% Cream*: Contains salicylic acid (6%) and might be suitable for allergic areas. *Other Options* 1. *CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser*: A gentle cleanser with salicylic acid (2%) and hyaluronic acid. 2. *Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream*: A rich moisturizer with urea (10%) and ceramides

I've been dealing with this problem for the past two years. Every time I take medication, it disappears, but after a few months, it's back again. I've been on meds for 2 to 3 months regularly, and it's frustrating because not only has my weight increased, but the issue still isn't going away completely. It's getting worse now, as the fungal infection is spreading to my private parts. I'm using sapat lotion and cream, which gives me some temporary relief, but I really want to get rid of it for good. What do you suggest I do to solve this from the root?
candid cream for local application , tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient..
