I've had this butt rash for around three months now, and I think it's been sticking around because of how it's been treated. The pharmacy gave me hydrocortisone cream and these fexofenadine hydrochloride pills to go with it. I'm putting the cream on just once a day and taking one pill daily too. The rash is bumpy and really itchy, plus it feels like the skin is getting kind of dry. What should I do?

I'm dealing with some serious hair fall issues and just saw a dermatologist recently. She prescribed me a tablet that has 10 mg of biotin, 100 mg of calcium pantothenate, and 50 mg of N-acetyl cysteine in each dose. I'm a bit concerned about whether this is a safe dosage to be taking. Could you give me some guidance on this?

Safety of Hair Loss Medication_ The prescribed tablet contains: 1. _Biotin (10 mg)_: A safe and effective dose for hair loss, promoting hair growth and strengthening hair follicles. 2. _Calcium Pantothenate (100 mg)_: A form of Vitamin B5, which is essential for hair growth. This dose is within the recommended daily intake. 3. _N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) (50 mg)_: An amino acid that supports hair growth and reduces oxidative stress. This dose is relatively low and considered safe. The combination and dosages of these ingredients are generally considered safe and effective for addressing hair loss. However, it's essential to: *Follow your dermatologist's instructions *Monitor your body's response to the medication *Report any adverse effects or concerns to your dermatologist

I'm really worried because my hair was falling out at an alarming rate, but I've been oiling and massaging my scalp, and the hair fall has almost stoppedonly about 4 or 5 strands per day now. I'm just 19, and I've noticed some bald patches. Is there any way I can regrow the hair Ive already lost in those areas?

continue same treatment.

My beard growth is really patchy it only grows on the outer edges but stays thin in the middle and front. I've been taking multivitamins but haven't seen much improvement. I'm hesitant to try rogaine because of the side effects, and surgery isn't an option for me right now. There are some small hairs, but they haven't gotten thicker in over a year. Any idea what could help?

Beard density is mostly genetic; PRP or microneedling might help, but results vary and should be dermatologist-guided.
