I've just started using Minokem F solution 5 and I'm a bit confused about how it works. Does it only help with hair growth on the crown area, or can it also be effective for the front of the scalp? My main issue is a receding hairline, not balding on the crown. Is this treatment going to help with that?

View allI'm currently taking Zempred 4mg during the weekends, two tablets each on Saturday and Sunday for a total of one month, which adds up to 16 tablets. I've been diagnosed with lichen planus pigmentosus. I'm wondering if it's okay to stop taking these tablets after the one month is up? Is it generally safe to continue with this dosage for just a month?
Zempred 4mg is a brand name for methylprednisolone, which is a corticosteroid. It is commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions like lichen planus pigmentosus. The dosage you mentioned is appropriate for short-term use. It is safe to stop taking Zempred 4mg after one month as prescribed. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment. If you have any concerns about stopping the medication, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I'm dealing with a cut mark on my left hand that happened back in January 2016. I didn't get any treatment for it at that time. Now, the wound mark has become thick, and I'm experiencing pain and itching there. Even a light touch is painful. Could you advise me on what to do?
Soframycin cream for local application is advised for 2 weeks twice daily.
