I've had a broad forehead since I was born, and I've been using minoxidil to try and grow some hair there. I've started noticing a few small hairs beginning to grow. Do you think they'll get longer? Also, how many months should I continue using minoxidil before I can expect to see more results?

I got my nose pierced at the beginning of February. About two weeks later, I switched to a diamond stud and noticed there was still a bit of pain. Then a week after that, I noticed a bump forming where the piercing is, and it hasn't gone away since. I've tried all kinds of home remedies like saltwater soaks and applying various oils, which seem to reduce the bump sometimes, but it always comes back. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this and what I can do about it?

I've been dealing with these recurring boils on my head for the last three years and just found out it's folliculitis. I've been told to take Althrocin 250, three times a day after meals for a week. Do you think this will completely cure my folliculitis?

I'm having some trouble with acne and my doctor said to take doxy 100mg capsules. But when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me something called doxybond LB. They mentioned there are different types like doxylab and doxybond LB. I looked up doxybond LB online and saw it might have a bunch of side effects. Now I'm worriedwill this actually help with my acne, or could it cause more issues? What should I do?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
