Question

I've been dealing with this itchy skin at the back of my knees for like 15 years now, and it's left me with dark scars because I can't help but scratch. A dermatologist gave me a lotion, oatmeal soap, and some antihistamine about 3 years ago. It all worked while I used it for 3 months, but once I stopped, the problem came back. What can I do to make this itchiness go away for good?

I've been dealing with hair fall and my doctor mentioned Follihair. I'm curious if there's a more budget-friendly option like Supradyne or Zincovit that might work just as well. Also, can I opt for any brand of Minoxidil 5? I'm a 23-year-old guy and would really appreciate your advice!
