Question 1

I'm starting to worry because I've been using minoxidil 5% hair 4 u lotion to treat my balding, and now my scalp is peeling and I have flakes coming out. It's really concerning since these problems only occur in the areas where I apply the minoxidil. I tried ketoconazole but its not helping at all. Is it possible that the minoxidil is causing these side effects? What else can I do to stop the flaking and roughness on my scalp? Would love some advice on this.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a side effect of using minoxidil. To help with the peeling and flaking of the scalp, you can try using a gentle shampoo like Nizoral shampoo containing ketoconazole 2-3 times a week. In addition, you can use a moisturizing scalp lotion like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion to help soothe the dry and irritated skin. Make sure to apply the minoxidil only to a dry scalp and allow it to fully dry before applying any other products. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

Question 2

I've noticed this red pore on my nose that's been around for almost a year now. I'm kind of worried about what it could be and how to get rid of it. I regularly squeeze blackheads on my nose, so I wonder if maybe it's an infected pore? What do you think?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 3

I've been noticing rashes on my private area, and they tend to get worse whenever there's any interaction down there. If I give it a rest for a few days, the rash fades away, but the skin stays white. It's been bothering me, and I'm wondering what could be causing this? Is it something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Visit your Physician for appropriate management

I've noticed some black spots appearing on a few of my fingers. I think it might be some kind of allergy, but there's no itching involved. Could this still be an allergic reaction, or is there something else I should be concerned about?

Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .
