I've been using Minoxidil 5 and Finasteride 0.1 Topical Solution for the last couple of years. At first, everything seemed great, but now my hair's falling out more than ever. Plus, I'm dealing with acne as well. Could this be a sign of some hormonal imbalance? My CBC showed I'm low on Vit D3 and B12, but I've been taking the prescribed pills for that. I try to work out a bit and my diet's just regular Indian food, nothing fancy. I'm not really keen on treatments like PRP but I'm wondering if I should switch to Oral Finasteride. What do you think?

I'm dealing with some itchy and flaky skin, and I'm really worried it might spread further. Could it be something serious? Also, I'm not diabetic, and though I have high blood pressure, it's well-managed. Any advice on what this might be or how to treat it?
It sounds like you might be dealing with a skin condition like eczema or seborrheic dermatitis, which can cause itching and flakiness. Since you have high blood pressure, it's important to use gentle, non-irritating treatments. If it worsens or spreads, I'd recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Is it common for ringworm to have a clear liquid coming out of it? What does it mean if it does? Should I be worried about this, or is it something that usually happens?
Ringworm typically presents as a red, scaly rash that may be itchy. Oozing clear liquid from a ringworm lesion can indicate a secondary bacterial infection. This is a cause for concern as it may require additional treatment to clear the infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area, along with an antibiotic cream like Neosporin to prevent bacterial infection. If the oozing persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.
