I've been using mintop for the past 3 months and ever since I started, I've been experiencing a lot of itching where I apply it. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about the irritation, or maybe try something different? Any advice would be appreciated!

To help alleviate the itching, you can try using a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer on the affected area. Additionally, you can use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help reduce the itching. If the itching persists or becomes severe, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been dealing with constant dandruff and a really itchy scalp for quite a while now. Over the past two years, my hair's been thinning a lot. A couple of doctors mentioned it might be seborrheic dermatitis. I've got this white to yellowish grainy dandruff that sticks to my hair strands and roots. My scalp gets super oily and greasy really fast, like it's greasy the day after I wash it. There's also acne building up on my scalp, and the itchiness is through the roof. Currently, I'm using Hair4u serum daily, taking Vitamin 12, applying Noskarf lotion every other day, and shampooing regularly. I haven't been oiling my hair either. I've also tried natural remedies like apple cider vinegar and curd. But with the Hair4u 5% minoxidil, the itchiness seems to have gotten worse. I've experimented with so many things but haven't seen any improvement. Any advice on what I should do to tackle this and maybe help my hair grow back?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm really concerned about my 7-year-old son who's just started getting these sudden brown spots on his skin. The first one showed up behind his neck, then another near his collarbone, and now there's one on his ribs. There's no itching or pain, and theyre just plain brown, no other colors like blue or anything. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
That could be P versicolr infection or vitamin deficiency, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.no need to worry.

I've been dealing with hair fall and my doctor mentioned Follihair. I'm curious if there's a more budget-friendly option like Supradyne or Zincovit that might work just as well. Also, can I opt for any brand of Minoxidil 5? I'm a 23-year-old guy and would really appreciate your advice!
