To help stop hair fall, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin tablets 10mg once daily can also help in promoting hair growth. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive stress.

Question

I'm noticing more and more fungal infections popping up on my face recently. I'm really wondering if it's a good idea to add Dettol to my bath water or not. Also, should I keep using regular soap, or could that be making things worse?

Question

I've been dealing with this weird sensation, especially during winters for the past 15 years, where it feels like a bunch of needles are trying to poke out of my skin. It's really intense and usually happens when I'm out in the sun or doing some physical activity. The only time it goes away is if I remove my clothes and touch something cold or scratch my body like crazy. It's getting worse, to the point where just being outside for a short time sets it off, and it's really hard to control, especially around other people. I've also started noticing these red patches on my skin wherever I feel the needle-poking sensation, and it's really worrying me because it's affecting my daily life and work. I've tried bathing with cold water in the winter, which seems to help a bit, but I'm looking for a more permanent and sensible solution. Any ideas on what this could be and how I can manage it better?

Question

Can I use Indulekha hair oil even though I'm only 16? My hair used to be thick and bouncy, but now it's really thin and seems to be falling out a lot. I'm worried and not sure what to do. Do you think this hair oil would help, or is it not suitable for someone my age?
