Precautions
a. Patch Test First: Test a small amount on another skin area to check for allergic reactions.
b. Cleanliness: Ensure the aloe leaf and your hands are clean to prevent infection.

View allI'm noticing a lot of premature grey hairs and it seems like they're increasing every day. Do you have any advice or solutions for this?
Greying of hair is a normal aging process which starts around 30 as the melanocytes activity of the body slows down and gradually the melanin production in hair stops. If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. The hairs which have already turned white cannot be turned back to black. But you can delay the process of greying of hair by some lifestyle modifications. Take adequate sleep and drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.

I've been struggling with hidradenitis suppurativa for years and tried tablets with no relief. Recently had surgery but still no improvement. My doctor suggested Humira injections - is this a good option? Also, could you recommend the best specialists for this in Ahmedabad or nearby areas in Gujarat? What are the names of similar injections available in India?
Humira (adalimumab) is an option for treating hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), especially when other treatments have failed. It's a biologic drug that helps reduce inflammation, a key factor in HS. If your doctor recommends Humira, it's worth exploring, but it's crucial to discuss potential side effects and risks with them. Other similar injections, also biologics, available in India for HS include BIMZELX® (bimekizumab-bkzx) and COSENTYX® (secukinumab)

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
