Question

I've had this red blotch on my chest for a couple of years now, and it's not going away; it just keeps getting bigger. Now I'm seeing even more red blotches popping up. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
