How long until minoxidil improves hair thinning?

Hello , I'm facing diffuse thinning in my hair for the past one year my temples are so thin and my crown is also thin and overall volume of the hair is low I've been taking minoxidil for 3months I haven't seen any results how long does it take and should I start taking finasteride

Thinning hair can be due to several factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and health conditions. Minoxidil takes around four to six months to start working so be patient. If you are thinking of using finasteride, it is a good idea to talk to your dermatologist first and find out if it is the right option for you.

I want my facial hair and neck hair removed .would like to go for lazer treatment. How much does it cost ? And how long will it take ?

Female | 60

Hi Mam,
As mentioned I believe your age is 60. Mam Laser hair reduction works beautifully on thick dark coarse hair, if your hair is grey it might not be responsive to the treatment. Usually 6-8 sessions are needed, then it goes to maintenance depending on the response. See a Dermatologist.

can in take pistonor 2 while taking centrizine

Female | 26

Taking Pistonor 2 alongside Ce­ntrizine raises the odds of fe­eling sleepy and dizzy. The­se meds make you drowsy. Driving or handling machine­ry becomes risky. Always consult your doctor before­ mixing drugs. You'll avoid unsafe outcomes. !

Female | 23

For whiteheads, you can use retinoid cream or gel. And for large pores, exfoliating scrub or a clay mask can be helpful as they help reduce the size of pores. Moisturizers and sunscreen( atleast 30 SPF) can also be useful to keep your skin healthy.

Am I balding or not? Please help

Male | 16

It is hard to diagnose your balding without a professional examination. If you are worried about hair loss, you should visit a dermatologist who is a specialist in hairs loss problems. They can analyze your condition and give you optimal care.

Hello! I'd like to consult on a medication called Doxycycline I took 2 doses wrongly by accident (2 pills 2 times a day instead of 1 pill 2 times a day) Should I wait 24 hours and take the next dose in the morning? or should I take my next dose now? also, could I check the effectiveness of doxycycline? (I have taken doxycycline before and I'm concerned it might not be effective) Thank you!

Male | 24

It's important to use medicines the right way if you want them to work well. Too much doxycycline might give you a stomach ache, make you feel sick, or throw up. If you have taken 2 doses at once, just skip that particular time and take your next dose when it is due. Even after this drug may still be effective but not in the correct manner as before; so always consult with your doctor if doubtful about its efficacy.

I had toenail torn off now a little black dot on skin toe is painful

Female | 50

It is very common to see these symptoms if you have undergone an episode of toenails being torn off. This is generally due to subungual haematoma. The foot infection can be prevented by visiting a podiatrist or a specialist for treatment.

Male | 20

Balanitis refe­rs to inflammation of the penis head. Re­dness, itching, and discomfort are common symptoms. Tezcort GM cre­am can provide relief by re­ducing swelling and combating infection. Gently cle­anse the affecte­d area, then apply the cre­am as instructed. Steer cle­ar of irritants like harsh soaps. If symptoms persist, consult a medical profe­ssional promptly.
