Can hair grow back after Balding?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It depends. If a follicle has closed, disappeared, scarred, or not generated a new hair in years, then a new hair wouldn't be able to grow

Hair Regrowth Possibility:
- Early Stages: Treatments like minoxidil or finasteride may help if follicles are not dead.
- Advanced Balding: Natural regrowth is unlikely if follicles are inactive or destroyed.
-
Other Causes:
- Hair loss from stress, illness, or nutritional deficiencies might be reversible with treatment.
-
Recommendation:
- Consult a dermatologist or hair specialist to determine the cause and explore treatment options, including medications or hair transplants.

View allI've had this white mark on my skin where I used to place a bindi, and it's been there for about a year. I stopped using the bindi because I thought the glue might be causing it, and switched to sindoor, but that didn't help either. The white spot has grown and now it itches, so I can't even use sindoor or tika on it. I'm 60 years old and I'm worried about what this could be. Could you please advise?
That could be due to allergy,visit dermatologist for appropriate management because that might need nourishing moisturiser and steroid based lotion

I've noticed 34 painless bumps in my genital area that seem to be spreading. Should I consider surgery to remove them?
It's crucial to see a doctor for these genital bumps, especially if they are spreading. While they could be harmless, such as skin tags or ingrown hairs, they could also be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like genital warts or molluscum contagiosum. Surgery isn't always the first or best approach, and a doctor can determine the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment, which might include medication, freezing, or other methods.
