View allI'm dealing with some pretty frustrating scalp itching and I'm using a mix of three different medicated shampoos as my doctor recommended. They also prescribed Onabet SD and Onabet lotion. But I'm wonderingis it okay if I start using MINTOP5 on the days when I'm not applying the Onabet lotions? Would that be alright to add into my routine without causing any issues?
Yes, you can use MINTOP 5% on the days when you are not using Onabet lotions. Make sure to apply MINTOP 5% solution to the scalp once a day, preferably in the evening. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after applying the solution and avoid getting it in your eyes.

I'm dealing with some serious hair fall and hair loss, and I'm currently on isotretinoin for my acne. I'm worried because the hair fall is getting really bad, and I'm afraid I might go bald soon. I can't stop the acne treatment because it's severe, but is there anything I can do about the hair loss? Can isotretinoin be causing this? Any advice would be appreciated.
there is no such relation between isotretinoin and hairfall infact it indirectly helps in nourishing your hair,there are many causes for hairfall, visit your dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate tretament, consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair and skin.
