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 have some concerns about dark areas on my body, specifically my inner thighs, buttocks, and bikini line. Are there any effective medicines you can recommend to help lighten these areas? I'm also curious about how long it generally takes to see results. I should mention my skin is quite sensitive.

I'm feeling really uncomfortable with this redness and burning sensation around my anus. It's also kind of soft to touch. I'm not sure what's causing this, and it's making me really anxious. Could this be something serious? What can I do to alleviate it?

To help alleviate the redness, burning sensation, and softening of the skin around the anus, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and itching. Additionally, sitz baths with warm water several times a day can also provide relief. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using harsh soaps or wipes. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
