Topical minoxidil usage skepticism
Hi,
I consulted a dermatologist for hair thinning and hair loss from hairline and a little bit at crown. They have advised me topical minoxidil 5% once per day and ketoconazole shampoo.
However I am not entirely sure about using minoxidil, could someone please help me with pros and cons of applying it? Will it affect my blood pressure? What are the side effects to worry about and what are the chances of getting them?

Bumps on Skin near Forehead and Cheeks
I have sensitive skin. I don't really get pimples or acne. It only happens occasionally. From last week however I got these pimples/acne on my forehead. It wasn't this severe then, just progressed over the weekend. Now it has spread to my cheeks also. I started using Benzyl Peroxide 5% last night. Please suggest me if that'll work.

Bumps or warts
I am experiencing multiple small bumps on the outer vaginal (vulvar) area. They are mostly skin-colored to white, small in size, and have been gradually increasing in number over time. All the bumps are localized to the same area.
I have not noticed any pain, itching, discharge, or bleeding associated with them. I do shave the area occasionally.
Kindly advise whether this could be due to shaving-related folliculitis or genital warts, and what treatment or next steps you would recommend.”

Scalp itching issue
Hello ma’am, I need some help with a separate issue regarding my scalp condition.
For the past few months, I’ve been experiencing itchiness due to flakiness on my scalp. I used Scalppro shampoo earlier, and it helped at that time.
However, since the last week of March, the itching has worsened. I’ve also started noticing small bumps and rashes on my scalp. Around that same time, I began using the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Hair Spa (complete kit), so I suspected it might be causing an allergic reaction. I stopped using it
After that, I switched to using Scalppro shampoo along with Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner (paraben-free). It provided slight relief, but the problem is still there.
I also tried using a mild daily shampoo and took Cetirizine for a few days for allergy relief. While I was on the medication, the itching improved, but it returned after I stopped taking it.
Additionally, I’ve been experiencing mouth ulcers and some stomach heat/liver-related discomfort recently. I’m not sure if this is connected to my scalp issue or if it’s purely an allergy.
Could you please guide me on what this might be and suggest appropriate treatment
