I've been dealing with hair loss for the past year and initially had some success with minoxidil 5 foam and dutasteride dutamax. But after three months, I switched to minoxidil 5 liquid and duprost dutasteride, and now my hair's shedding like crazy again. Could this be because I changed my meds? What can I do to stop my hair from falling out? I've stopped using the liquid minoxidilis it better to go back to the foam and the original dutasteride?

It seems like the change in your medication from minoxidil 5% foam and dutasteride dutamax to minoxidil 5% liquid and duprost dutasteride may have contributed to the increased hair shedding. I recommend switching back to minoxidil 5% foam and dutasteride dutamax as they were working well for you before

View allI'm trying to figure out the differences between Melaglow Cream and Melaglow Rich Cream, and I'm really curious which one is the best for my skin needs. Also, how long should I be using these creams to see a noticeable improvement in my skin tone? I'm just a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice on this.
MELAGLOW RICH CREAM is better for dry skin, while MELAGLOW CREAM is suitable for normal to oily skin. You can use either cream for up to 12 weeks for best results. Apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening.

I've just started using this morr5 stuff in the morning and the regrowth serum at night, and now I'm noticing these white flakes on my scalp. Plus, when I wash my hair in the morning, I find about 15-20 strands falling out. Is this a normal reaction when you first start using these hair treatments? I only began last Saturday.
After applying Morr5% in the morning and Regrowth Serum at night, it is not uncommon to experience some side effects such as white flakes on the scalp and increased hair shedding, especially during the initial days of using these medications. This can be a normal reaction as your scalp adjusts to the new products. To address the white flakes on your scalp, you can try using a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo. As for the increased hair shedding, it is important to continue the treatment as prescribed and monitor the situation. If the shedding persists or worsens, you may consider consulting your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been diagnosed with LPP after a biopsy, and I'm dealing with black pigmentation on my face, underarms, and neck. At first, I didn't think much of it, but it's been spreading. I've been on medication for about six months now, using tacrolimus ointment since September 2016, and I did phototherapy for a while. But after phototherapy, my skin got so dry and dark that I just had to stop because it was really getting me down. My new doctor prescribed me Depiwhite and Pynomax TX cream for alternate nights and xamic tablets for a month. The thing is, when I looked up xamic, it seems to be meant for stopping excessive menstrual bleeding, but my periods are pretty regular, so I'm kind of worried about taking it. Could you please offer some advice on what I should do?
It is understandable to have concerns about taking a medication that is typically used for a different purpose. In your case, Xamic tablet (Tranexamic Acid) can also be used to reduce skin pigmentation and improve skin tone in conditions like LPP. The recommended dosage for skin pigmentation is usually 250-500mg twice daily. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and continue with the prescribed treatment plan. If you have any further concerns or experience any side effects, it is best to discuss them with your doctor for proper guidance.
