I've been using Veet hair removal cream on my thighs and hips area. After about 8-10 days, I've started noticing an allergic reaction around my hips. I'm worried about it and I'm wondering what would be the best advice or treatment for this? I've also got a picture of the affected area if that helps.

I'm a bit worried because I brought minoxidil USP 10HARE10 in India, and now that I'm in the UAE, I noticed that when I opened the bottle, the color is this strange yellow. I'm not sure if it's safe to use like this. Could this color change mean it's bad, or is it still okay to apply it?

it should not that much affected

Can I take Calcirol after dinner or lunch? Is it okay to just take it and then head straight to bed? And also, is hot milk the best way to take it?

You can take it anytime after meal, 30 min before bed.

I'm thinking about starting minoxidil for my male pattern baldness, but I'm worried about what happens if I stop using it. Will all the new hair I grow just fall out, and will my original hair shed faster than usual? I really want to understand this before I decide. Can you help clarify this for me?
