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?

I'm noticing these black spots appearing on my leg and they're a bit itchy. It's kind of weird because this just started happening out of nowhere, and I've never dealt with anything like this before. They seem to be spreading slowly, but it's strange that they're only showing up on my leg. Any idea what's going on?

I've noticed there's a small lump under the skin in my cheek. It's kind of hard when I touch it but not really sticking out. Should I be worried about this? What's going on with that?

I'm considering using Retiglow by Indiabulls for my open pores and sensitive skin, but I'm really unsure if it's a good idea since my skin is quite thin. I'm only 20 years old, so I'm worried about whether it's safe or suitable for someone my age. Could you let me know if it's okay to use?
