I've been using Momate F cream USP on my face for some time and the results have been pretty great. I'm just a bit worried and curious if there are any side effects I should be aware of. Also, if I stop using it, is there a chance the spots will come back?

Momate F cream, containing mometasone and fusidic acid, can have side effects like skin thinning, redness, itching, and increased risk of infections, and if stopped, the underlying skin condition may recur, but the spots themselves may not necessarily "grow back" worse than before, however, it's essential to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice on usage and discontinuation.

I've been using kz lotion for dandruff, and lately, I've noticed my hair is falling out more than usual. Could this be a side effect? I don't have thyroid issues, I take vitamin supplements, and I usually get about 8 hours of sleep each night. I'm 26 and just really worried about this hair fall. Is it normal to experience this after using the lotion?

I've been using xpecia gel and keraxl hair serum for about two weeks just like my dermatologist recommended. I'm concerned because Im not seeing any changes, and Ive read that my hair should be shedding if the minoxidil is doing its thing. Plus, my hair is really short since I've recently gone bald. What should I be doing differently?
