I've noticed a ring-shaped bruise on my back, and it's a bit painful when I press on it. When I touch it, the skin feels smooth. I'm curious and a bit concerned about what this could be. What might be causing this bruise, and should I be worried about the pain?

to determine the cause of the ring-shaped bruise, as it could be a harmless injury or a sign of an underlying condition, such as a fungal or bacterial infection, a bruise from a minor trauma, or, in rare cases, a symptom of a more serious condition like erythema migrans associated with Lyme disease.

I've been using Minoxidil 2 two times a day for the last 3 months and it really helped with my hair fall. I was thrilled to see less hair in my comb and shower, plus I noticed some new growth. But now I'm dealing with unexpected facial hair, like around my forehead, under my eyes, and on the sides of my cheeks. It's making me self-conscious again because it's quite noticeable, especially on my forehead where it's longer. I'm wondering if reducing the dose might help, maybe applying it just once a day? I'm worried though that it might cause the hair loss to return. Is there another way to deal with this side effect? Would love some advice on how to handle this situation.
your features looks like a condition called hirsutism which could be due to androgen imbalance, this might not be due to minoxidil lotion ,u can make the frequency to once daily as your hair fall issue is resolved, visit Dermatologist as soon as possible for further evaluation.
