I'm looking for advice on the best minoxidil brand available in India. I've heard about brands like Regaine and Minoqilib. Are these any good, or do you suggest any other brands?

They are effective in promoting hair growth and treating hair loss. Another popular brand you can consider is Tugain. For best results, you can use Regaine 5% solution or Minoqilib 5% solution twice daily on the affected area of the scalp.

I'm having a lot of trouble with itching and cuts on the skin of my scrotum, even though I've tried using different ointments. It's frustrating because the skin keeps getting dry and the cuts keep coming back. What can I do to finally get rid of this dryness and heal these cuts?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
