I've been dealing with jock itch for what feels like forever now and tried using Quadriderm, but it didnt make much of a difference. Can you recommend any medicines or ointments that might actually help me get rid of it for good?

View allMy skin has been noticeably darker ever since I had typhoid about five years ago. I recently did a blood test, and everything came back normal, but my skin tone just seems to keep getting darker. It's really worrying me, and I'm trying to understand why this is happening and what I can do about it. Could there be some underlying issue that's causing this, even if my blood work looks fine?

Can you tell me if it's okay to oil my hair while I'm using minoxidil? I'm a bit confused about how often I should be applying oil, like is there a recommended frequency per week? I'm currently using minoxidil and just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.
When using minoxidil, it is generally recommended to avoid applying oil to the scalp as it may interfere with the absorption of the medication. However, you can still apply oil to the lengths of your hair to keep it nourished and hydrated. It is best to apply the oil to the hair at least 2-3 hours before or after applying minoxidil to ensure proper absorption of the medication. You can do this 1-2 times a week, depending on your hair's needs.

I've been using xpecia gel and keraxl hair serum for about two weeks just like my dermatologist recommended. I'm concerned because Im not seeing any changes, and Ive read that my hair should be shedding if the minoxidil is doing its thing. Plus, my hair is really short since I've recently gone bald. What should I be doing differently?
use previous gel
