I've been using the Mintop 5% minoxidil solution for about a week and a half, and it feels like my hair loss has actually gotten worse instead of better. I'm a bit worried if this is normal or if I should stop using it. Could there be another medication I should consider?

Hair loss can sometimes worsen temporarily when starting minoxidil treatment. It is important to continue using the medication as directed. In addition to minoxidil, you can consider adding finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to your treatment regimen. Finasteride helps to block the hormone responsible for hair loss. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

View allI'm dealing with a persistent jock itch and the whole thing is really frustrating. I first tried using Candid Dusting powder, which helped for a bit, but the itch just kept coming back. Then I went for an antifungal cream called Clobiprop NM, and while it reduced the rashes, they returned as soon as I stopped the cream. I've also tried a stronger cream, Clop GM, which seemed to reduce the rash and itch at first, but now my skin has turned white and its painful and itching again. Could you suggest what might be a good treatment or medication for this?
