Question

I've been using Minoxidil for four months now, following my dermatologist's advice, but I'm thinking about stopping it. I'm 21 years old and a bit concerned about what might happen if I do. What should I expect? Will there be any side effects or hair loss? Is it safe to just quit Minoxidil after this period?

Question

I'm really curious, is aloe vera gel actually good for anal use? I've been dealing with rashes down there, and after applying aloe vera, the problem seems to have improved. Can I use it regularly on my anus? I sometimes get anal chafing and rashes from dryness and was wondering if aloe vera is okay to use for that. Or maybe theres a specific gel or ointment youd recommend for dealing with these kinds of rashes and chafing?
