I've been using Minoxidil 2 two times a day for the last 3 months and it really helped with my hair fall. I was thrilled to see less hair in my comb and shower, plus I noticed some new growth. But now I'm dealing with unexpected facial hair, like around my forehead, under my eyes, and on the sides of my cheeks. It's making me self-conscious again because it's quite noticeable, especially on my forehead where it's longer. I'm wondering if reducing the dose might help, maybe applying it just once a day? I'm worried though that it might cause the hair loss to return. Is there another way to deal with this side effect? Would love some advice on how to handle this situation.

your features looks like a condition called hirsutism which could be due to androgen imbalance, this might not be due to minoxidil lotion ,u can make the frequency to once daily as your hair fall issue is resolved, visit Dermatologist as soon as possible for further evaluation.

What do dermatologists generally think about using paraben and SLS-free products?

I've been dealing with this dry patch on my inner upper thigh that's making me a bit concerned. It's flaky, white, and it keeps itching which is kind of uncomfortable. I've noticed it for the past few days. My thighs are pretty close together, and I usually just use regular soap when I shower. Could something like my soap be causing this, or is it more likely due to my thighs rubbing together? What can I do to get rid of this dryness and itching?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection, such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Luliconazole twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding tight underwear can help with the healing process.
