I'm using Mintop and noticed sometimes it gets on my other hairs, and I'm worried it might turn them grey. Is that possible? Also, I've started getting grey hairs at just 16. Is there a way to treat them so they can turn black again?

Minoxidil generally does not cause discoloration of hair strands which it comes in contact with. Your grey hairs may be caused due to lack of pigmenting compounds. There are various treatments available online.

I'm dealing with hair loss and have noticed it's male pattern baldness. I'm thinking about trying Minoxidil topical solution, but I'm unsure if it's safe, especially since there are mixed opinions about using Minoxidil before marriage because it might affect fertility. Plus, I've heard about potential side effects like chest pain and dry skin, which is a bit worrying. How should I approach this? I'm sure others have the same questions, so any advice would really help.

I've been dealing with this problem for the past two years. Every time I take medication, it disappears, but after a few months, it's back again. I've been on meds for 2 to 3 months regularly, and it's frustrating because not only has my weight increased, but the issue still isn't going away completely. It's getting worse now, as the fungal infection is spreading to my private parts. I'm using sapat lotion and cream, which gives me some temporary relief, but I really want to get rid of it for good. What do you suggest I do to solve this from the root?

I'm wondering if the Ethiglo Glutathione pills, recommended by my dermatologist for pigmentation and skin lightening, are actually effective. Or should I consider using Glutone 1000 instead?

Glutathione pill (Ethiglo) along with vitamin C is commonly used for pigmentation issues. Ethiglo is effective in improving skin tone and reducing pigmentation. Based on your dermatologist's recommendation, you can start with Ethiglo for better results. The usual dosage for Ethiglo is 500mg once daily.
