I'm wondering how I should use Onabet SD solution for my hair. Should I apply it directly or mix it with water first? Once I've applied it, how long should I leave it on my hair, and what steps should I follow afterward?

I've had alopecia universalis for a year and my doctor prescribed decdan 0.5 to take every weekend 5 on Sunday and 5 on Saturday. But I'm getting ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery on my knee next week. Should I keep taking the medicine or stop it before the surgery? I'm a bit worried about how it might affect the procedure or recovery.

I'm looking for a minoxidil product at 5% strength that doesn't have alcohol or propylene glycol. The one I'm using right now is in lotion form, but it's causing some really bad itching. Do you have any recommendations for something else I could try?

-You can try a *minoxidil 5% foam* instead of lotion, as its alcohol- and propylene glycol-free, reducing the chances of itching. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist for alternatives.
