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?

I've been dealing with this skin issue for a couple of years now. It first showed up at the Thai and now there's this constant khujli affecting my entire body. A year ago, it seemed like things were finally getting better, almost like I was in the clear for good. But recently, it's come back with a vengeance and feels worse than ever. What kind of medicine should I be looking into? Are there specific things I should be doing or avoiding to help with this?

Is there a different brand I can use instead of Dipsalic lotion? Also, are betamethasone and clobetasol basically the same thing when they're used as a lotion on the scalp with salicylic acid? Just trying to figure out if there's a suitable alternative or if they work differently.
