I'm wondering if it's normal to have black patches on the skin after waxing near the underarms and pubic area. Is this an issue with pigmentation, and if so, is there a cream I can use to get rid of these patches?

I'm dealing with hair fall for the past three months and it's really worrying me. Are those shampoo-based hair colors, like Indica or Streaks, which you get in Rs 30 sachet packs, safe to use every couple of months? Also, is there any way we can stop hair from greying or falling out using medicines? And if I do decide to color, which brand would be the best pick?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm diagnosed with vitiligo and have been undergoing treatment for close to five years now, using medications like melanocyl and aprezo. I'm just wondering if that's a typical duration for such treatments. Is there anything else I should be doing to see better results or maybe even faster progress? It's been quite a journey and I'd love some clarity on what to expect moving forward.

you can continue the medicines advised by your doctor and consume balanced diet.

I'm dealing with Androgenic Alopecia and in the past, I've seen good results with Minoxidil and Finasteride. However, after my daughter was born, I stopped using them for about two years and now I've lost my hair again. I'm considering starting Minoxidil lotion again, but I'm worried. If my daughter shares my pillow, could it have any negative effects on her skin or hair? I really don't want to cause her any problems.

try using separate pillows from now and use minoxidil 30min before bed
