Question

I've had Fox Fordyce for 8 years and it's been hell with the constant itching only corticosteroid creams give me relief. Would surgically removing all my armpit sweat glands cure this condition? I'm desperate for a permanent solution since creams just manage symptoms.

Question

I'm dealing with Androgenic Alopecia and in the past, I've seen good results with Minoxidil and Finasteride. However, after my daughter was born, I stopped using them for about two years and now I've lost my hair again. I'm considering starting Minoxidil lotion again, but I'm worried. If my daughter shares my pillow, could it have any negative effects on her skin or hair? I really don't want to cause her any problems.
