Why aren't my beard baby hairs thickening with minoxidil?

I am 18 years old and I had to use minoxidil on my beard. I have baby hairs on my beard but they are not getting thick and are falling off.

Answered on 10th Feb '25

It’s common for younger individuals using minoxidil to experience temporary shedding, as this can be part of the hair growth cycle. The fine hairs you notice may take time to become thicker. Ensuring proper usage and patient consistency can help with results. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet and managing stress levels can positively influence hair health. If you continue to have concerns or notice significant changes, seeking advice from a dermatologist is recommended to rule out any underlying issues and to discuss tailored options for your situation.

Pimple and Pimple marks in face

Female | 27

Pimple marks are small bumps that can be red, swollen, or have pus, the pinky-gray of the skin. These things are generated when the pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Pimple marks are dark or red spots left behind after a pimple goes away. In order to reduce your chances of getting pimples, you should wash your face regularly, stay away from oily products, and never pick or squeeze the pimples. Apply products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat them.

Dhoop me face black ho gya hai kaun si cream ya face wash ya aur koi suggestion ho to btaye

Male | 35

Sunburn is one of the reasons it can happen. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause your skin to become dark. So, you can apply a cream with aloe vera or cucumber to cuddle your skin. Another recommendation is to wear sunblock when you are going outdoors to keep your face protected.

Age-41yrs. From last 3 years suffering from a black patch all around my lips, specially below the lips on both sides. I had visited a doctor there who detected the problem to be Perical pig / Melasma Pg as written in the prescription. Treated me with the following medicines For the 1st month- Cetaphil gentle cleanser, Flutivate E cream alternate night and Kojic cream once in a day. Next visit I was advised to use Kojiglo cream once daily, Eukroma+Flutivate E cream on the patches twice a week. But I did not find any difference. I had informed the doctor that I cannot afford a very costly treatment, but on her assurance during my third visit I was applied Glycocil pack but yet felt no difference. Then was asked to use Dermadew Caloe lotion every day and Azideenz 10% gel once a day, this gel made my skin rough, when complained she advised me to use only Dermadew lotion day and night daily. My face is 2 to 3 shades darker than my body color. What to do now to get rid of this patch

Female | 41

Without a proper evaluation and diagnosis, I can't say. But normally, suggested treatments for perical pigmentation include topical medications and laser treatments and I do not recommend flutivate cream for pigmentation. However, based on your individual condition, the doctor will recommend the best treatment for you.

This will then require a medical specialist to assess the swelling and find out what causes it. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist in such cases, who can detect and treat skin diseases. However, do not attempt self diagnosis

Can I use rosemary water for hair

Female | 13

The use of rosemary water for hair is quite beneficial. Rosemary shows the potential for increasing hair growth and stopping hair loss with its properties. It is a common method used to reduce dandruff and improve scalp health. Nevertheless, in case of any skin reaction or allergies, avoid it. Before applying it all over your scalp, it is crucial to try out a small area first.

PIGMENTATION TANG REMOVER

Male | 24

Pigmentation that occurs as a result of tanning removal agents is a skin problem where dark, scaly, patches appear. Symptoms may be monotonous and the colored patches that occur on the skin. Tang removers are composed of potent chemicals that can harm your skin and lead to these patches. To do this, first, you should stop using the tan remover and instead shift to more skin-friendly products. If the case is like this, shield them from the sun.
