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?

I've got this really bad pain and swelling going on in one of my toes, and I'm pretty sure it's due to an ingrown nail. I'm not sure who I should see about this. What kind of doctor or specialist would be the best to consult for something like this? Also, what kind of treatment should I expect or ask for?
Consult a podiatrist or a dermatologist for ingrown toenail treatment, which may involve soaking, trimming, or surgically removing the nail, and in severe cases, antibiotics or partial nail avulsion may be prescribed.
