Question 1

I'm 31, with a wheatish skin tone, and getting married in two months. Im really worried about the dark areas under my arms, private parts, and some black spots around my inner thighs. I also have some boil marks on my bums, and my lips, which were pink, have started darkening. Can you recommend something that works quickly?

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 5

I have acne and dark spots on my skin, and I've been using Melalite cream to help with them. Is it safe to continue using Melalite for this, or should I be cautious?

Accepted Answer

Melalite cream contains hydroquinone which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, it is important to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional as prolonged use of hydroquinone can have side effects such as skin irritation, redness, or a bluish-black darkening of the skin. It is recommended to use melalite cream in a thin layer on the affected areas once daily at night.
