My son has been having these black spots on his palms and feet lately and they're really itchy. The spots seem to be growing and they're actually under the skin, not on top. The skin over these spots feels hard, kind of like how it looks on people who do a lot of weightlifting or use shovels a lot. Plus, he sweats a lot, especially on his hands and feet. Really worried about whats going on here, any ideas?

View allI'm curious about switching from minoxidil, which I've been on for a couple of weeks, to Ustraa hair vitalizer. Do you think it would be effective for hair regrowth and reducing hair fall?

Minoxidil is a medication used for hair regrowth and should be used as prescribed. If you are considering switching to Ustraa hair vitalizer, please consult with your doctor first to discuss the best course of action.
