I'm trying to figure out what would be the best option for my hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia. Should I go with Tugain Minoxidil 5 Solution, Morr F tropical solution, or is follihair serum a better choice? It's getting a bit concerning and I want to make sure I'm using the right product. Any guidance on this would be really appreciated.

Tugain Minoxidil 5% Solution contains minoxidil, a vasodilator that activates hair follicles and increases blood supply. It's available in 5% and 10% concentrations, with the 10% solution being more effective for grade three and four hair loss.
Morr F tropical solution contains finasteride, which, when combined with minoxidil, can enhance hair growth. Some dermatologists recommend Morr F as a better option due to its added finasteride content.
Follihair serum is another option, but its effectiveness compared to Tugain and Morr F is less documented.

View allI've got these two cuts behind my right ear that just won't heal and they've been there for nearly a year now. They ooze, scab over, and get really crusty. There's no rash, and they don't look like any eczema pictures I've found. I've tried prescribed creams but nothing helps. What could this be, and what should I do next?
Could be indicative of a condition called chronic otitis externa. In this case, I would recommend using a combination of an antibiotic and steroid ear drops to help with the inflammation and infection. You can try using Neomycin-Polymyxin B-Hydrocortisone ear drops twice a day for 7-10 days. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching or picking at the scabs to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this really annoying issue with my skin; it started as just itching and at first, I thought it was just because of sweat. I even tried using mupivate ointment but it didn't seem to help at all. The skin is just peeling constantly and it's all on my lower back. Whenever I sweat, it gets super itchy, and I've noticed it's actually been spreading over the last six months. Do you have any suggestions for a cream or anything external I could apply to help with this?
This sounds like a case of fungal infection, specifically tinea corporis. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've been reading about the benefits of using Evion 500 Vitamin E capsules for skin and hair, and I'm curious if it really works. Can I apply the serum from the capsules directly to my skin and hair? What would you recommend?
-Yes, you can apply Evion 500 Vitamin E to your skin and hairit may help with hydration and repair. However, always do a patch test first to check for allergies, and avoid excessive use as it might clog pores.
