Question 1

I need a minoxidil 5% without alcohol/propylene glycol.. Can u suggest me one? I just using minoxidil lotion but its causing terrible itching

Accepted Answer

-You can try a *minoxidil 5% foam* instead of lotion, as it’s alcohol- and propylene glycol-free, reducing the chances of itching. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist for alternatives.

Question 2

I have had bad itching at tailbone and upper buttock crevices for last 10 days. I have used Calamine, it soothed little but had not much help. Is it fungal infection? In that case,, may I use antifungal cream like Livafin.? Regards.

Accepted Answer

Itching in the tailbone and upper buttock crevices can indeed be a sign of a fungal infection, especially if it has not improved with calamine lotion. You can try using an antifungal cream like Livafin (Terbinafine) twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the healing process.

Reducing Pimples1. Maintain good hygiene: Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser.2. Use non-comedogenic products: Choose products labeled "non-comedogenic" or "oil-free" to avoid clogging pores.3. Exfoliate regularly: Exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.4.

Topical treatments: Apply creams or serums containing ingredients like:- Hydroquinone (2%): Fades dark spots.- Retinoids: Promotes cell turnover and collagen production.- Niacinamide: Improves skin hyperpigmentation.- Vitamin C: Antioxidant properties help reduce dark spots.2.
