I've noticed my hairline is receding, especially around the temple and frontal areas, and I tried using Minokem like my dermatologist recommended, but it doesn't seem to be working. I still have these baby hairs on my scalp. What's worrying me is that while there's no baldness on my dad's side, there is on my mom's - my uncle and grandfather are both bald. Could this be something genetic from my mom's side? Is there anything else I should try or consider?

I've been really struggling with acne on my face, and it's starting to get on my nerves. On top of that, I've got these scars that just won't go away, no matter what I do. I've been trying to manage the acne with Clinsol gel, but I'm not sure what else I can do. Could you guide me on how to deal with both the acne and these stubborn scars?

I'm noticing something red inside my belly button, and sometimes there's blood and a liquid coming out. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal? What could be causing it?

It sounds like you might have an infection or a condition like an umbilical granuloma or abscess. Clean the area gently with an antiseptic, keep it dry, and avoid poking it. Consult a doctor soon to rule out any deeper issue and get appropriate treatment.

I'm noticing something that looks like perioral dermatitis around my mouth and chin. The only change in my life recently is that I moved to a new place with really hard water. Could the water be causing this? Also, I tried using lotion but it just made things flakier and scalier. I even used a prescription steroid cream and that didnt seem to work either. What do you think might be happening?

yes
