Can you tell me if it's okay to oil my hair while I'm using minoxidil? I'm a bit confused about how often I should be applying oil, like is there a recommended frequency per week? I'm currently using minoxidil and just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

When using minoxidil, it is generally recommended to avoid applying oil to the scalp as it may interfere with the absorption of the medication. However, you can still apply oil to the lengths of your hair to keep it nourished and hydrated. It is best to apply the oil to the hair at least 2-3 hours before or after applying minoxidil to ensure proper absorption of the medication. You can do this 1-2 times a week, depending on your hair's needs.

I've got this boil on my scrotum, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you recommend any medicine or treatment for this? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection and promote healing. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any pain or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the boil does not improve or gets worse, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
