I've just had my first full body wax, and it's led to some red and itchy bumps on my stomach and back. I've only waxed my arms and legs before and didn't have this reaction. What can I use to help reduce the itchiness and redness? Would a specific cream or tablet be best?

I've been using Minoxidil for about three weeks now, as my dermatologist suggested it. But after reading about the side effects and realizing that I might have to continue using it for life, I'm starting to have second thoughts. I'm really hoping to improve my hair health by changing my lifestyle and managing my stress levels instead of relying on medications like this. Could you guide me on how to safely stop using Minoxidil without causing too much hair loss? Should I be gradually reducing it from twice a day to once a day, then maybe every other day, or is there another method youd recommend? Also, if you could give me some advice on foods that are good for hair health and ways to have a healthy lifestyle, I'd really appreciate it.

Minoidil works better for hair fall and when you are satisfied with your hair you can wheen it off,also consume protien and vitamin rich food for better results

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.
