I've been dealing with these annoying acne-like bumps on my hips and the back of my thighs. They don't bother me all the time, but when they do, they can be really itchy and painful. After some Googling, I think it might be folliculitis. I'm already on Isotretinoin for the acne on my face, and my lipid and liver function tests are normal. Do you have any suggestions for an ointment or something that could help with this?

I'm using minoxidil once a day for my hair and I'm wondering how often I should be shampooing. Also, could you suggest which type of shampoo would be best to use with this treatment?
If you are using minoxidil once a day daily, it is recommended to shampoo your hair at least 2-3 times a week. You can use a mild shampoo that is gentle on your scalp and hair, such as Nizoral shampoo. Make sure to follow the instructions on the shampoo bottle for best results.

But lately, I can't find it anywhere. Could you recommend another option? Also, I have to use a dusting powder like Tzyo or Candid every day because the space between my toes is narrow. Is there a permanent solution you could suggest?
