Is it safe to use Mintio minoxidil solution on my transplanted hair now that it's been 12 days post-surgery? I was using it a month before the transplant to save my thinning hair and wondering if I can continue applying it to both the transplanted area and my existing hair

Yes, it's generally safe to use Mintop minoxidil solution on your transplanted hair 12 days post-surgery and continue using it on your existing hair. Most doctors recommend waiting a few days after the procedure to avoid irritation, but 12 days is generally sufficient. Applying minoxidil can help stimulate hair growth, prevent shedding, and potentially expedite recovery of the transplant

I've been dealing with severe pigmentation on my hands and neck, and I'm really struggling to find something that works long-term. Initially, I tried using Glyaha Koj with Diprovate, and it seemed to help, but once I stopped, the discoloration came right back. Then I moved on to using Melacare and Skinlite, but unfortunately, they didn't make much of a difference. I'm now wondering if chemical peels could be a solution here. Do you think they might help with this stubborn pigmentation?
Chemical peels containing ingredients like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid can help in reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone. It is important to consult a dermatologist to determine the most suitable type and strength of chemical peel for your skin type and pigmentation severity. One commonly used chemical peel for pigmentation is Cosmelan. It is a depigmentation treatment that helps to reduce melanin production and lighten dark spots. The treatment involves applying the Cosmelan mask in the clinic and then following a specific at-home care regimen. For your severe pigmentation concern on hands and neck, a series of chemical peel sessions may be recommended, typically spaced a few weeks apart. It is important to follow post-peel care instructions diligently, including sun protection, to achieve the best results and prevent further pigmentation. Always consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your skin condition.

I'm really worried about my skin. I've been using this fair cream from Zee Drugs for about a year now, and I'm noticing some issues. If I skip using it for just a day, I get these small pimple-like things near my nose and all over my forehead. The longer I don't use it, the redder and itchier they become. And when I do use the cream again, my nose becomes covered with pimples that won't go away. Can someone please help me figure out what's going on and what I should do about it?
That could be Acne Vulagaris which is because your skin might have become sensitive,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management and do not try to squeeze them.
