I'm really worried and need some advice. I've been using minoxidil for about 8 months now, but I'm unsure how to safely stop it. My hair has become very thin and my scalp is quite visible. What could be causing these issues with my scalp?

View allI've been dealing with this itching on my inner thighs and buttocks for the last three months, and I've noticed the same rash on my left-hand wrist and both my right hand and leg joint. I've tried a bunch of antifungal creams and meds like flucan 150mg, cefadroxil 500mg, and Levosiz, and then switched to terbinafine tablets and cream. Been on these for three months now, but there's been no improvement. In fact, the redness got worse over the last four days. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to get rid of this?
Given your persistent symptoms despite treatment, it's essential to reassess your condition. Here's a step-by-step plan:

I've been a bit worried about my hair lately. I shaved my head around three months ago, and while most of my hair seems to have grown back normally, the crown of my head appears less dense. After shaving, I started using onion juice, and I noticed that when my hair is wet, you can see my scalp under the light. I recently trimmed my hair to about 1.5 inches, and now it looks denser. Before shaving, my hair seemed normal and didn't have any bald spots, plus using Fortene anti-dandruff shampoo helped with my dandruff issues. Could this be early signs of baldness, or am I overthinking it?
It takes atleast 3-4 months.

I've been dealing with these lichen planus spots for a while now. Even after treatment, they seem to come back. I'm really looking for something that's a permanent fix. Could you help me find the best treatment that prevents them from regrowing? I'm starting to feel a bit frustrated with this cycle.
Lichen planus spots can be treated with topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol cream applied twice daily for several weeks. In more severe cases, oral corticosteroids like Prednisone may be prescribed for a short period. For long-term management and prevention of regrowth, topical immunomodulators like Tacrolimus ointment can be used. Additionally, antihistamines like Loratadine can help with itching. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.
