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.

Taking care of your skin is not very complex; just following the simple steps of a daily skincare routine can give you the best results. Wash your face with mild cleansers twice a day, moisturize your face daily, and use sunscreen as sun protection is paramount. For clear and healthy skin, make an appointment with a dermatologist.

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.

Age=17 years. Having hard lump on side of head and on the forehead it doesnot cause pain but mild pain occur some times.First it was on side of head than occurred on forehead it's size is not very large not seen in hairs
Male | 17
It may not always be painful, though it causes occasional mild pain. Such a thing can happen when there is a small sac under the skin or it is a harmless tumor. Sometimes these bumps are caused by blocked oil ducts or inflamed hair follicles. Make sure you have a dermatologist take a look at it so they can tell you for sure what it is and how to fix it.

My mother has a skin disease. I want to know what type of disease it is and what is its treatment.
Female | 48
It sounds as if your mother has eczema. Eczema can make the skin itchy, red, and inflamed. It can be due to dry skin, irritants, or allergies. To alleviate eczema, moisturize the skin, avoid strong soaps, and use the prescribed creams from the dermatologist. In some cases, the doctor may suggest antihistamines to mitigate itching.

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.

Female | Anjali jha
It sounds like you might be experiencing a reaction to the cream, which can cause inflammation and redness. This may occur due to irritation or an allergic response to one of the ingredients. To soothe your skin, consider using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and avoid harsh products for a few days. Applying cool compresses can also help reduce inflammation. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s advisable to consult a dermatologist for appropriate evaluation and tailored treatment.

These can be a form of pigmentation and often improve over time. Using products like Eliteglo cream can help lighten these spots, but it’s best to approach any treatment with care. I suggest consulting a dermatologist before starting any new cream to ensure it’s suitable for your skin type. Meanwhile, protecting your skin from the sun and staying hydrated can also support overall skin health.

Male | 23
It sounds like you might be suffering from a urinary tract infection, which is an unlikely condition where bacteria have been introduced to your pee area causing trouble. It may make you feel itchy, and painful during your urination, and even give you a constant urge to urinate more frequently. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment

Cysts can make the area swell, feel tender, and look red. They may occur due to blocked oil glands or hair follicles. Don't touch or squeeze it. Using warm compresses helps ease swelling. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist.

Hlw sir .my face is black head problem
Male | 24
It may be a case where you have a lot of blackheads on your face, but it's not the case. Blackheads are little, dark lumps that come to the skin when hair follicles get clogged with too much oil and dead skin cells. You may realize that they are small, black superficial bumps. To solve this problem, cleanse your face regularly with a mild cleanser and use salicylic acid products to open your pores. Also, avoid squeezing or picking as it can cause more problems on the skin. Instead, if you have a problem with them, you should consult a dermatologist for a solution.

But my problem is not solved... It's been cleared in some area and grown in other with same moderate symptoms and also eye pain and headache What to do sir / madam please help
Male | 27
Pimples on your forehead and scalp may signify acne. Medicines don't cure it; special treatment is required. Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid can potentially help. However, Cosvate GM plus cream should be avoided. It might worsen symptoms like pain, itch, and redness. Eye pain, headaches too seems connected to this problem. So, discussing all symptoms with a dermatologist is vital. Get proper evaluation and advice for comprehensive acne management.

Can I use benzoyl peroxide 2.5% concentration ointment
Male | 13
The typical usage of Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% ointment is for acne treatment. It can be of tremendous use in getting rid of the microorganisms on the skin surface that could cause acne eruptions. Overproduction of oil, clogged pores, and bacteria are the most rampant causes of acne. Benzoyl peroxide when used as prescribed by a dermatologist will help decrease the number of bacteria on the skin, which in turn will aid in the improvement of the acne symptoms.

I am suffering from ring worm infection in my groin areas on the leg.
Male | 17
You likely have ringworm affecting your groin region and leg area. This common fungal infection creates reddish, itchy, scaly skin patches. It spreads easily through contact with infected people or animals. To treat, use over-the-counter antifungal creams/sprays. Keep that area clean, and dry - aiding healing. If there is no improvement, see a dermatologist.
