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?

View allI noticed my hairline is receding more on the right side near my temple compared to the left, which is still thick. There's some thinning starting in the right frontal area too. Would a hairline reduction surgery work for me? Is it a permanent solution, and is it available in India?
Hair can often recede more quickly or noticeably on one side. This is normally because hair follicles don't always progress at the exact same speeds or because genetics mean you are more likely to develop a receding hairline that looks a little uneven

I'm really worried about this dark spot I've got on my mouth and nose. Could it be because of the whiteheads on my nose? It's been bothering me a lot, and I'm really curious about what's causing it. What should I be doing to help with this?
Dark spots also known as hyperpigmentation,can occur due to several reasons. Sun exposure,post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which appear after inflammation or injury to skin like acne etc. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to hyperpigmentation.To prevent this use sunscreen and avoid picking at acne or injuries to minimise damage.Consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

I'm really worried about these cholesterol deposits under my eyes. I've heard about laser treatments that might help. Can you tell me if that's a good option and if it's safe? I just want to get them removed somehow.
Probable diagnosis is xanthelasma. Treatment includes cryotherapy and statins.
