I'm worried because I've been using minoxidil for the past 20 days, and now I'm experiencing heavy hair fall and even noticing a new bald area. I'm really concerned and wondering if I should stop using minoxidil and finasteride. Have you seen this happen before, and is there something else I could try?

I've been experiencing a lot of pain right at the top of my butt crack, not the anus but the upper part of the butt. It's really painful when I sit down, although there's no lumps or sores that I can feel or see. I'm unsure what's causing this, but it's pretty uncomfortable. Any idea what might be going on or how I can ease the pain?

You may be experiencing pain in the area known as the sacrum or coccyx. This type of pain can be caused by various reasons such as muscle strain, injury, or even inflammation. To help relieve the pain and discomfort, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as directed on the package. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may also help alleviate the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed some brown spots and patches appearing in my armpits. This has happened before and went away on its own, but now they've come back and are starting to spread to my other armpit. I'm really worried about it. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
