I've been getting rashes on my ears, forehead, and nose whenever I use minoxidil. Is there any way to keep using it without having these allergic reactions?

To minimize the irritation, you could try switching to a foam formulation, use a lower concentration, apply it to dry skin, and use a gentle moisturizer. If the irritation persists or worsens, consult with a dermatologist for alternative treatments or to manage the allergic reaction.

View allI've been dealing with a genital herpes diagnosis on the head of my penis, and while my HIV test came back negative, these sores keep reappearing every 10 to 12 days. I was prescribed Acivir 400 and an ointment, both of which I stopped using after the initial 10-day treatment as the doctor advised. But when the sores come back, I can't help but start taking the Acivir again and applying the ointment. Is this okay to do, or should I be sticking to a specific course of medication? Are there other treatments that might help reduce how often these sores break out? Also, any precautionary measures I should be considering?
Continue same treatment.

I've been dealing with this issue where the skin on my lower lip tends to harden and then get really dry. I always end up peeling it off, but then the whole cycle just starts over again. It's pretty frustrating. What could be causing this, and how can I stop it from happening?
