I'm really worried about these red spots that have shown up on my hips and seem to be spreading. They appeared once before but then mostly disappeared. Now they're back. They only itch occasionally, not all the time. Could you please guide me on what I should do about this?

I've been using Tugain 5 solution for almost 10 months now, and it's really helped with my hair loss and even encouraged some new growth. But recently, my scalp has become incredibly itchy, almost unbearable, and there's some dandruff forming too. The irritation is so intense I'm considering stopping the treatment altogether, but I'm worried about going back to losing hair. What can I do to soothe this itchy scalp and keep using Tugain without these problems cropping up?

Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
