Question

I'm using Hair4U minoxidil 5 topical solution and I've got a few questions about it. How long should I be using it, and what happens if I stop? My schedule's pretty tight, so can I just apply it at night? If I see improvements and then quit the product, is that a bad idea does that mean I have to keep using it forever? Also, if my hair gets dry while I'm on this treatment, what should I be doing to fix that? Is it okay to use medicated soap or just water to wash my hair after applying minoxidil at night, and how should I go about washing my hair daily? I'm looking for some advice here.

Question

I'm a 25-year-old woman, and I recently had hand surgery. My surgeon put me on Acuvin and Cetil 500, and I've been taking them for four days. I've started experiencing vaginal itching since then. My doctor hasn't given me anything for it. Do you have any suggestions on what might be causing this or what I can do to deal with it?

Question

I'm dealing with these small red blisters and rashes under and between my breasts, and it's been really troublesome. I've tried using prickly heat powder, antiseptic lotions, and even some liquid treatments, but nothing seems to fully work. Do you think taking a teczine tablet might help with this issue? I would really appreciate any advice or recommendations you have for a cure.
