Question

I've been having a really annoying issue with my scalp lately. It's super itchy and flaky, and there's a bunch of hair falling out. On top of that, it's like I'm getting these grainy, salt-like particles on my scalp that itch as well. It's honestly driving me nuts because my scalp feels dirty just a day after I wash it. I've been using Head & Shoulders but it's not helping. What could be going on with my scalp? Any advice on how to fix this?

Question

I'm really curious about this Reffollium product. I've been struggling with bald spots and am wondering if it actually helps with hair growth. Is it effective for regrowing hair in areas where I'm thinning? I was thinking about ordering it and would love to get some advice before I do. Can you shed some light on whether it's worth trying?

Question

I'm really worried because my daughter accidentally spilled hot tea on her chest, and now she has about three spots, each around an inch, that got burned. After treatment, her chest is okay now, but the skin color where it burned is different from her normal skin. What can I do to help the color of the burned skin blend back in with her regular skin tone?

Question

I'm noticing a lot more hairfall lately, especially after I comb my hair once it's dry from shampooinglike, I lose about 400-500 strands because my hair gets tangled. On other days, it's still happening but not as bad, maybe around 50 strands. I try to stay healthy by drinking 3-4 liters of water a day and exercising for about an hour daily. Plus, I don't really eat much oily food. Is there something I might be missing or should be doing differently to help with this hairfall?
