Is it safe to use minoxidil 5 for hair thinning? I'm worried about any possible side effects. Also, I've noticed some grey hairs in my beard. What do you suggest?

I'm really worried about my husband. His eosinophil count is 10.2 and RDW-CV is 14.4. He's been having allergic reactions every now and then. Could you tell me what might be going on and how we can bring these counts down? What kind of treatment should we consider?

Question

I've been dealing with some issues with my scalp for the past 20 days. The flakes are yellowish, mostly around the top and back of my head. They're pretty easy to pick off but sometimes take some hair with them. When I wash my hair after picking them off, it really stings. Plus, I've noticed my scalp is getting oilier and my hair keeps falling out more than usual. What's going on, and what should I do?

Question

I'm really struggling with a mouth ulcer that's been bothering me for the past three months. I've tried seeing a few different doctors, and they've prescribed a bunch of meds like Becosules, Oflox 200, Glenora gel, Lerobaet 500, Oraways gel, and Zincovit tablets. I've attached an image, but nothing seems to be working, and it's getting really uncomfortable. Any idea why this is happening or what else I can try for some relief?
