I'm a bit confused about using the Carel Solution. It contains coal tar topical solution USP and salicylic acid IP in an aqueous base, and I've been told to use it like a shampoo. Could you guide me on how exactly I should be applying it? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to use it differently than regular shampoo.

So, I'm 17 and I'm thinking about using Minoxidilhair Joy Foam to help with growing my mustache or beard. I'm just a bit worried about whether its safe at my age and if there might be any side effects I should know about. Would love some advice on this!

Minoxidil can be used for beard and mustache hair growth. It is important to apply a 1ml dose of minoxidil foam to the affected area twice a day. Some common side effects of minoxidil include itching, dryness, and irritation of the skin. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.
