I've suddenly noticed these tiny black dots appearing on my skin. I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out if it might be some kind of allergy. Could you help me understand what this could be?

I'm dealing with mild acne and my dermatologist put me on a sebamed facewash and nioret nanogel for nighttime use. He also recommended the ansolar gel cream sunscreen, but it's quite pricey. I'm wondering if there's a more affordable sunscreen option that will work well with the nioret nanogel I'm using. Could you please advise?

For a cheaper alternative to Ansolar Gel Cream, consider: 1. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry-Touch Sunscreen ( 500) 2. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Sunscreen Milk ( 1,200) 3. Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ ( 800) When choosing a sunscreen to use with Nioret Nanogel: 1. Opt for a non-comedogenic (oil-free) sunscreen. 2. Select a physical sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) for gentle, effective protection. 3. Ensure the sunscreen is fragrance-free to minimize irritation. Consult your dermatologist before making any changes to your skincare routine.

I'm using minoxidil once a day for my hair and I'm wondering how often I should be shampooing. Also, could you suggest which type of shampoo would be best to use with this treatment?

If you are using minoxidil once a day daily, it is recommended to shampoo your hair at least 2-3 times a week. You can use a mild shampoo that is gentle on your scalp and hair, such as Nizoral shampoo. Make sure to follow the instructions on the shampoo bottle for best results.
