Question 1

I've been using minoxidil and procapil for my hair loss, but my hair's been really dry lately, and I'm worried it might be making the hair loss worse. Is it okay if I use hair oil along with these treatments? Could the dryness be contributing to the hair issue?

4. *Topical creams or ointments*: Your doctor may prescribe topical treatments, such as hydrocortisone cream or antibiotic ointments, to reduce inflammation or fight infections.
