Skin, Hair and Nail Problems

Hi, I have been suggested minoxidil by doctor but forgot to ask if I can apply it during breastfeeding.. I'm currently breastfeeding my 19 month old.. can I still apply minoxidil serum?

Hi doctors, Thank you very much (to whoever replies to my question). These spots started appearing last September - October. I have consulted a few dermatologists and have been using the medication they provided. Some of the spots have faded completely, however the rest of the spots are there as if it is. I was diagnosed with Lichen Planus, but I am afraid that this might be something else. This might be psychological because my doctor assures me every time that these spots are nothing serious and these are definitely not cancerous spots. However I am not able to put my mind to rest about these. Attaching a few pictures of the major spots that are currently there. Thanks!

Dear Practo Support Team, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance and guidance regarding some ongoing concerns I have been facing with my hair and scalp health. For some time now, I have been experiencing significant hair fall and dandruff issues, despite my efforts to address them through various over-the-counter remedies and home remedies. Unfortunately, these problems have not shown any signs of improvement, and they continue to affect my confidence and overall well-being. Given the persistence and severity of these issues, I believe it is time to seek professional advice and treatment to effectively manage and resolve them. I am reaching out to you in the hope that you can provide recommendations for specialists or dermatologists who specialize in hair and scalp health. Additionally, I would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations you could offer regarding potential treatment options or lifestyle changes that may help alleviate my hair fall.

Hello, For the last 3-4 years I have lost lots of hair from my scalp. When my hair is wet my scalp is clearly visible. None of my family members have ever suffered from this thing, my brother's father, uncle's all have good hairs. Tested for vitamin D and B12 which were low I am taking medicines for those. What medicine will help in hair loss? Can I start taking minoxidil without visiting any doctors clinic? I live in Dombivli Maharashtra. I consulted a dermatologist 2 years ago she suggested qsera hair serum and ketafung shapoo. After applying these hair fall stopped for shorter period of time but yes dandruff in not visible now. I want to regrow hair what should I do? That doctor is not available in my city moved abroad.
