I'm thinking about starting minoxidil for my male pattern baldness, but I'm worried about what happens if I stop using it. Will all the new hair I grow just fall out, and will my original hair shed faster than usual? I really want to understand this before I decide. Can you help clarify this for me?

View allI'm really stressed out because my wedding is coming up soon on July 10th, and I'm dealing with these stubborn dark spots from acne. I've heard that Betnovate N could help lighten them, but I'm worried about its side effects. I feel like I don't have any other choices right now. Could you offer any advice or alternatives?
Betnovate-N is not recommended for treating dark spots of acne due to its side effects, especially when used on the face. Instead, you can use a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, to help lighten the dark spots. Apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the affected areas once at night for 2-3 months. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
