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 noticing that I'm losing around 10-15 strands of hair every morning when I check my pillow. This has been happening for about 25 days now. It's starting to worry me. What could be causing this hair fall, and is there anything I can do to make it stop?

I recently saw a doctor for a skin infection and was told it's a fungal infection. They prescribed me Candiforce 200. When I looked it up online, it seems to be more for mouth, throat, and lung issues. I'm a bit confused and worriedwill it actually help with my skin infection? I'm thinking of seeing a dermatologist soon but would love some clarity before that.

I'm trying to understand the difference between milia and molluscum. Can you explain this in detail? Also, do these conditions go away on their own, or do they need some kind of treatment? I'm really curious because I just noticed some small bumps on my skin and I'm not sure what they are or if I should be worried.

Milia is a trapped keratin and molluscum is an infection
