Question

I'm really worried because within just one year, I've noticed my hair is thinning so much and I'm even starting to see bald patches. It's like my hairline is receding too, and now I'm really concerned. I used to feel more confident and even a bit prettier when I had more hair. Do you think this might be something serious? Could it be from thyroid issues or maybe it's genetics? I'm just not sure what's happening, and frankly, I'm feeling freaked out. Any advice on what's causing this and what I could possibly do to stop or slow it down?

Question

I've been struggling with pimples and pimple marks on my face for the last three years, and nothing seems to help. I've tried different face creams, vitamin E tablets, and even acne tablets. I've consulted so many doctors, but I'm not seeing any results. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what I should try next?

Question

Doc, I'm 37 and dealing with oily skin that has pits. I've got my acne under control now, thankfully. I've been applying vitamin C serum for about 21 months, and it's helped a lot with the pits. For nine months now, I've also been using Retino A 0.05 as an anti-aging treatment, and it's been going pretty smoothlyno irritation, redness, or peeling. Here's my routine: - Morning: face wash, Cetaphil, vitamin C serum, and then sunscreen. - Night: Plum aloe vera face wash, pea-sized Retino A 0.05, Olay serum, and ending with Sebamed Q10 cream. So, could you tell me if my routine's good as is, or if I should change or add anything else? How safe is it to use tretinoin for extended periods? And I'm looking for a good sunscreen recommendation that works for oily skin. Appreciate your insight!

Question

I've been on Perfectil for a couple of months now as part of my PRP treatment for thinning hair. I think it's helping, but I've suddenly gotten a lot of acne, which I've never had before. Could Perfectil be causing this, and should I keep taking it? What would you advise?
