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?

Yes, you can use Indulekha Hair Oil at the age of 16. It is safe for use in individuals below 18 years of age. To help with your hair breakage and hair fall, you can apply Indulekha Hair Oil on your scalp and hair, gently massaging it in. Leave it on for at least 2-3 hours or overnight before washing it off with a mild shampoo. You can use it 2-3 times a week for best results.

I've been using Minoxidil 2 two times a day for the last 3 months and it really helped with my hair fall. I was thrilled to see less hair in my comb and shower, plus I noticed some new growth. But now I'm dealing with unexpected facial hair, like around my forehead, under my eyes, and on the sides of my cheeks. It's making me self-conscious again because it's quite noticeable, especially on my forehead where it's longer. I'm wondering if reducing the dose might help, maybe applying it just once a day? I'm worried though that it might cause the hair loss to return. Is there another way to deal with this side effect? Would love some advice on how to handle this situation.

your features looks like a condition called hirsutism which could be due to androgen imbalance, this might not be due to minoxidil lotion ,u can make the frequency to once daily as your hair fall issue is resolved, visit Dermatologist as soon as possible for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned because it's been a month since the skin on my penis has gotten super dry. Now there are cuts, and it's really painful. There's also a lot of irritation around the area. I've tried using coconut oil for moisture, and it helps, but only for a little while. Can you suggest any medicine or something that might help?

I've been having trouble with these black spots on my skin, and I tried using Betnovate cream, but I'm not really sure if it's the right thing to do. Do you think it's effective for this kind of issue? I did visit a skincare specialist, but it didn't seem to help much. What do you suggest I should do next?

Betnovate cream may not be effective in removing black spots.
