Question

I'm an 18-year-old and I've been really worried about my hair lately. It's been falling out a lot, and I've read that it might be male pattern hair loss. I've tried using minoxidil because I heard it helps, but it actually made everything worse. I've still got a decent amount of hair and I really want to keep it that way. What should I do to stop it from getting worse?

Question

I've been struggling with dandruff for a really long time, and honestly, it's starting to get on my nerves. It flakes out whenever I run my fingers through my hair or even when I'm just sitting still. I'm really curious about what might be causing this. Is it something in my diet or maybe my shampoo? Could it be related to stress or maybe something else entirely? I'm looking for some real advice on what I can do to finally get rid of it. Any thoughts on treatments or remedies that really work?

Question

I'm really concerned about my skin. I have a normal skin type, and I recently used the Himalaya Neem face pack. Since then, I've noticed pimples appearing, which I've never had before. Do you have any idea why this might be happening or what I could do to clear up my skin and prevent pimples and acne?
