I've been using Morr F 5 solution for a couple of months now for my hair loss, and I'm starting to see some good early results. However, I'm experiencing a lot of flakes, similar to dandruff, on my scalp. I'm pretty sure the alcohol in the solution is causing this. Do you know of any alternative treatments to Morr F that include both Finasteride and Minoxidil but dont have alcohol?

I'm a bit worried because I accidentally poked myself on the face with the sharp end of a blackhead extractor, which felt a lot like a sewing needle. After that, about 12 drops of blood came out. The extractor was new and all I did was rinse it with water before using it. Should I be concerned about getting an infection or any kind of disease from this?

Yes take tetanus shot and get your wound cleaned properly for good healing.

I've got a question about how I'm using my hair lotions. I put one on during the day after shampooing, and then I use a different one at night when I'm going to bed. Do I need to wash my hair again before putting on the night lotion, or can I just apply it straight away?

It is not necessary to wash your hair again before applying the second lotion at night. You can apply the second hair lotion without washing your hair again.
