Yes, both products can be used at the same time but there are some considerations like application timing , since both products are typically applied topically , it's important to allow one product to absorb fully before applying the other. Applying multiple products may cause scalp irritation for some individuals. If you notice redness, itching,or discomfort, it might be helpful to reduce the frequency of application or consult with a dermatologist.

Question 3

Did minoxidil 5 percentage stops working after 2 year.
I have pattern baldness iam using it for last 2 years it works in beginning months  but now not working.why ?

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil 5% is a common treatment for pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). While it can be effective, its effectiveness may decrease over time.Receptor downregulation: Minoxidil works by binding to specific receptors. Prolonged use may lead to a decrease in receptor density, reducing the medication's effectiveness.Other factors: Poor scalp health, inadequate application, or concurrent medical conditions may also contribute to decreased effectiveness.
Options to consider:

1. Consult a dermatologist: Discuss your concerns and explore alternative treatments, such as finasteride (oral medication), low-level laser therapy (LLLT), or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
2. Combination therapy: Using minoxidil in combination with other treatments, such as finasteride or LLLT, may help maintain or enhance its effectiveness.
3. Scalp care: Maintain good scalp hygiene, and consider using scalp serums or shampoos that promote hair growth.
4. Realistic expectations: Understand that minoxidil is not a cure for pattern baldness, and its effectiveness may vary.

Question 4

I have applied dettol and the skin around it has darken. Will it fade away , it is causing irritation as well.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin reaction to the Dettol. To help with the irritation and darkening of the skin, you can try using a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Additionally, you can use a soothing moisturizer like Cetaphil to help hydrate the skin. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

These dark spots could be a condition called dermatosis papulosa nigra, which is common in individuals with skin of color, like yourself. To help reduce the appearance of these spots, you can try using topical retinoids like Adapalene gel in the evening on the affected areas. Additionally, using a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day can help prevent further darkening of the spots. Make sure to apply the medication as directed by your doctor for best results.
