Is minoxidil something that's a permanent fix for hair loss, or does it only work while you're using it? I'm a bit concerned about having to apply it indefinitely. Plus, I've been wondering if yoga might help with male pattern baldness. If it does, how long should I stick with it to see any results? By the way, I've noticed Dr. M.K Aggarwal tends to give the same advice for hair loss issues, so I'm hoping for a fresh perspective.

Minoxidil is not a permanent cure for male pattern baldness. It is effective in promoting hair growth as long as it is being applied regularly. One popular brand of minoxidil is Rogaine. Yoga alone is not a proven cure for male pattern baldness. While stress reduction techniques like yoga may help improve overall health and potentially reduce hair loss caused by stress, it is not a guaranteed cure for male pattern baldness. It is recommended to continue practicing yoga as part of a healthy lifestyle. For male pattern baldness treatment, you can consider using minoxidil as mentioned earlier.

My test results showed that I have Staphylococcus Aureus after catching this rash while I was in India. It started on my feet and after about three weeks, the pus has stopped, and the lesions are closing up. But I'm worried because these large spots on my feet keep turning purple in just an hour. Is this normal, and should I be concerned? What can I do to help with the healing?

I've been dealing with persistent redness on my face ever since I used Elosone HT. It's been a long 9 months and I've seen multiple doctors without much luck. They've prescribed various treatments like Benzoyl peroxide gel, Doxybond LB tablets, Clobetamil, aloe vera gel, and Salicylic acid creams, among others. I've also tried Metrogel, Calapure lotion, and Epilyno lotion. Despite all these efforts, the redness still hasn't completely gone away. I'm really worried and could use some help figuring out an effective treatment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
