I've always had really thick, full hair, but lately, I've been losing a lot of it, and thats never happened to me before. My hairline has receded by about 5cm, and my hair seems to be getting thinner and weaker every day. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

it sounds like you may be experiencing male pattern baldness. I recommend using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, taking finasteride 1mg tablet once daily can help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It's important to be consistent with these treatments to see results.

Question

I'm noticing that the skin on either side of my nose is turning black, and it seems to be getting worse with each passing day. I'm really worried about this. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can make it stop or reduce it?

Question

I'm experiencing this really uncomfortable feeling in winter, almost like needles are poking out of my skin from the inside, and its really intense. It usually happens when I'm out in the sun or doing any physical activity. The only thing that slightly helps is taking off my clothes and coming into contact with something cold or scratching really hard all over. But now, even just being outside for a little while triggers this sensation, and it's getting harder to handle in front of others. It's really impacting my life and work. I've noticed red patches appear where I feel the needle-poking sensation, which is worrying me a lot. I've been bathing with cold water to try and lessen how often it happens, but I'm really looking for a better and more long-term solution. Could you help me understand what's going on and advise on what I might do?

Question

I'm kind of worried because I've noticed these nodules on my nipple area for the past couple of weeks. My breasts are really itchy, and the skin seems to be drying out. Just last night, I got another nodule in my underarm. I'm confused if it's just because of the warm weather or if there's another reason behind it. Could this be something serious?
