I'm dealing with this stubborn skin problem and I'm really feeling embarrassed about it. I've tried using keto soap, onabit lotion, and taken a few tablets, but there's been no improvement. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and suggest what I could try next? Feeling quite confused and anxious about this.

I used Dettol on my face about a month ago, and initially, the affected area turned dark black. Now its more reddish with some black spots, and Im also having these small rash-like bumps and a bit of itching. Im wondering if this is part of the healing process? I've been using No Scars cream lately is that okay over Dettol burns, or should I try something else to help with the scarring and irritation?

Is it okay to use minoxidil and folliserum at the same time? Can they help control my hair fall? I'm really confused because I'm losing hair so early and I don't even know why. I have a pretty bad lifestyle though I eat a lot of tasty foods but not much fruit, drink little water, and I masturbate daily, which I can't seem to stop. Do you think these habits could be causing my hair fall? Doctors say masturbation is healthy, but it always leaves me feeling weak, sleepy, and moody, plus I'm very thin. Could this be affecting my hair and self-respect?

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.
