I've just started taking medication for hair treatment since early September 2017 and I've come across some stuff about potential side effects. I'm kinda worried because some articles I read online are making me anxious. Are these side effects common for everyone, or is it just a few cases?

I'm really worried about my dark lips. It started with just the upper lip being darker before my pregnancy, but after giving birth, both my lips have gotten really dark. I've tried all sorts of home remedies and lip balms, but nothing is working. It's stressing me out so much. Can you recommend a cream or lotion that could help with this quickly?

I'm really concerned about my hair. I've been experiencing a lot of hair fall and breakage, and it feels like I barely have any hair left in the front. I'm starting to worry about why this is happening and what I can do to stop it. What's going on with my hair, and are there any solutions you recommend to help with regrowth or strengthening?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried because since last night the glans of my penis has become swollen, and now the foreskin can't cover it. It's like the swollen part is sticking out past the foreskin. The sensitivity is intense and it's painful whenever I touch it. How long should I expect this swelling to last?
