I've noticed something strange with my beard recently. Some of the hairs are turning brown and a few even light brown, which is odd because all my other body hair is still black. I first thought it was maybe because of the gel I was using, but I haven't used any for the last six months, and there's been no change. Now I'm just using oil. Any idea why this is happening and how I might be able to get my beard back to its original black color?

I'm dealing with really bad acne on my face and shoulders, and my doctor recommended taking minoz 100mg. I'm trying to remember if he said to take it in the morning or evening but I'm drawing a blank. He mentioned once a day. Whats the best time to take it for the best results?

The recommended time to take Minoz 100mg for acne is usually in the morning, preferably with breakfast. Taking it at the same time each day can help maintain a consistent level of the medication in your body, which can improve its effectiveness. Remember to follow your doctor's instructions and take one tablet per day to see the best results.

I'm a 28-year-old male and I've got a fungal infection in my genital area. I've been using Onabet cream, which has Sertaconazole Nitrate in it. I've heard that nitrogen compounds can be harmful to the skin because they can break it down. Since Onabet contains a nitrate compound, I'm worried if it's actually safe to use it in such a sensitive area. Should I keep using Onabet for my condition? I'm really in need of some advice.

Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.
