I'm using minoxidil as my doctor prescribed, and I'm thinking about dyeing my hair. Do you think applying hair dye will cause any issues while I'm on minoxidil?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
When using minoxidil, it's essential to exercise caution when applying hair dye:
Wait period: Avoid applying hair dye for at least 24 hours after using minoxidil. Patch test: Perform a patch test with the hair dye to ensure you're not allergic to it. Choose gentle dyes: Opt for ammonia-free or semi-permanent hair dyes, which are less harsh. Avoid overlapping: Don't apply minoxidil and hair dye to the same area simultaneously.

I've noticed my hairline is receding, especially around the temple and frontal areas, and I tried using Minokem like my dermatologist recommended, but it doesn't seem to be working. I still have these baby hairs on my scalp. What's worrying me is that while there's no baldness on my dad's side, there is on my mom's - my uncle and grandfather are both bald. Could this be something genetic from my mom's side? Is there anything else I should try or consider?

I'm struggling with acne and dark spots on my face. Over the years, I've tried many medicines, but they only seem to help as long as I'm taking them. Once I finish the course, after a month or so, the same issues pop back up. Back in 2012, my doctor prescribed some medicines, and then again in 2013, I was recommended Zeethrom 500 mg, Saslic face wash, Resoten 20 mg, and Calene gel. By 2014, the prescription included Resoten 20 mg and Nioclean gel. I've been using these treatments for about three years, but I stopped taking any medicine over the past two years. Could you suggest what I should do next? Should I consider continuing with medicine or try another treatment option?
