I've been dealing with hair loss since 2015 and had been using minoxidil 5% for over a year. I stopped using it about 6 months ago but started again a month ago and I think the shedding phase is done. I saw a trichologist who recommended Xfolia hair gain serum and hairgain pills since I'm in a type 3 pattern. Have you heard of this Xfolia stuff? How long does it usually take to see results with this kind of treatment, because I couldn't find any info about it online?

View allI'm really worried because I've been using Betnovate N on my face for the past 7-8 years, and now that I know about the side effects, I want to stop but keep facing immediate reactions when I try to. What can I do to safely discontinue using it without experiencing those side effects?
To safely stop using Betnovate N after 7-8 years, consult a dermatologist for a gradual tapering plan, and consider using alternative topical creams or oral medications to manage withdrawal symptoms like itching, redness, and dryness.

I've been getting this weird mark that looks like a hickey on my neck. It's shown up three times in the exact same spot since last fall. The thing is, I know it's definitely not a hickey, and it doesn't itch or hurt. I'm pretty nervous because I haven't done anything that might cause it. I'm 39 and in decent health, and even using hydrocortisone cream hasn't helped. It's hard to see a doctor because by the time I get an appointment, it disappears. It just pops up out of nowhere. What do you think might be going on?

I've had this stitch mark on my face for a really long time, and I'm wondering if it's possible to get it removed without spending too much. Can it be done affordably?
There are several options available for removing a stitch mark on your face. One common treatment is using a topical scar cream like Mederma, applying it twice a day for several weeks. Another option is silicone gel sheets like ScarAway, which can also help reduce the appearance of the scar. If the scar is more severe, you may consider laser therapy such as Fraxel or CO2 laser treatment. However, the cost of these treatments can vary depending on the severity of the scar and the location of the clinic. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment option for you.
