What Else Besides Rogaine And Propecia Is Expected To Help Dryness And Discoloration?
I am a 23 year old male. I currently have a problem with very dry and discolored patches on my skin. They are mostly on my lower back, stomach, and under my arms. I also have started lose my hair and my scalp is very dry. It is thinning out very rapidly. Could these two things possibly be related? What can I do to solve it? I have tried Rogaine and Propecia for the balding with minimal results.

hi,
dry and discolored patch on lower back, stomach other places is asteatotic eczema. thinning out of hair is androgenetic alopecia, both thing qre different and can be treated effectively.
for hair loss rogaine and propecia is good medicine, it takes time. hair fall stops in 3 months and it takes further 3-4 month to grow terminal hair.
add tab biotin 10mg+PABA once daily.
rinse your hair with volumizing shampoo.
asteatotic eczema can be effectively control-
Treatments include:
Moisturizers, especially creams or lotions that contain urea and lactic acid
Topical steroids -- for areas that get very inflamed and itchy.
revention
Do not expose your skin to water more than needed.
Use cool bath water.
Choose gentle skin cleansers that are free of dyes and perfumes.
hope this is helpful.
