I've been dealing with these dark patches on the skin in my pubic area and I tried using terbicip for a couple of weeks, but there hasn't been any improvement. I'm getting really worried and wondering what else I could do to treat this? Could it be something serious, or am I just missing something with the treatment?

I've had a broad forehead since I was born, and I've been using minoxidil to try and grow some hair there. I've started noticing a few small hairs beginning to grow. Do you think they'll get longer? Also, how many months should I continue using minoxidil before I can expect to see more results?
