My ward has been having some skin rashes and itchiness all over his body for the past 15 days, and its really starting to worry me. The rash is consistently noticeable, and he feels a bit uncomfortable because of it. Can you provide some insight into what might be causing this and what steps we should take?

For your ward's persistent skin rashes and itchiness lasting 15 days, it's essential to consult a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause, which could be allergic reactions, eczema, dermatitis, or other conditions; in the meantime, encourage your ward to avoid scratching, apply cool compresses, and use over-the-counter anti-itch creams or oral antihistamines to alleviate discomfort.

I've been dealing with the early stages of frontal male pattern baldness, and my dermatologist suggested a few treatments like Finpecia tablets, Keraglo men, F Clin shampoo, and Minopep solution. I've started with the first three and have complemented them with a nutrient-rich diet including sea cod liver oil, eggs, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, and green tea. Thankfully, I've started seeing improvements, like less hair fall and thicker hair. But I'm feeling a bit anxious about using Minopep solution. I've heard that once you start using minoxidil products, you have to keep using them indefinitely. Is that really the case? And does sticking to a good diet really make a difference for hair health?

Definitely balanced diet and sound sleep with adequate physical activity would help in having healthy hair,and you can use Minoxidil solution no need to worry about using it for long periods, you can stop using it when you are satisfied with your hair.
