I've been dealing with acne hyperpigmentation, and my dermatologist suggested using a cream with Azelaic acid 20. I'm really hoping to see some results soon. How long does it usually take before I notice any improvement? I'm getting a bit anxious and just want to know what to expect.

Question

I've been dealing with hair fall and my doctor mentioned Follihair. I'm curious if there's a more budget-friendly option like Supradyne or Zincovit that might work just as well. Also, can I opt for any brand of Minoxidil 5? I'm a 23-year-old guy and would really appreciate your advice!

Question

I've been using Faiza beauty cream, and while it initially made my skin look better and fairer, I've started having issues since I stopped using it. Now my skin is having a bad reaction with lots of pimples appearing in a really concerning way. I'm really stressed about it and wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this mess. Any advice on how to replace this cream or what steps I should take to get my skin back on track would be super helpful.

Question

I'm using Clindac A for my acne treatment and the Episoft sunscreen. I'm wondering if I can start using the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser on my face, or is there another face wash youd recommend? I'm a bit unsure about what's best for my skin while on this treatment. Any advice?
