View allI'm a bit worried because I've been losing a lot of my chest hair lately. I saw a dermatologist and he said its alopecia areata, so he put me on UV treatment for about 6 weeks, but it didnt help at all. Then I went to a homeopathic doctor, and after doing a thyroid test, my TSH was around 8. He gave me some meds, but still, nothings working. Can you tell me what's going on?
Since the UV treatment and homeopathic medicines did not show any improvement, it's important to address the underlying thyroid issue. Your TSH level of around 8 indicates hypothyroidism, which can contribute to hair loss. The medications prescribed by the homeopathic doctor may not have been effective, so I recommend consulting with a medical doctor or endocrinologist for proper management of your thyroid condition.

I'm 21 years old and looking to boost my height. Is it still possible to grow after turning 20? I'm currently 5'2" and hoping to add at least 3 more inches. Could you offer any tipsmaybe exercises or something like skippingthat might help?
To increase your height after the age of 20, when the growth plates have closed, is challenging. However, you can still focus on improving your posture and overall health. Regular exercise, especially stretching exercises like yoga or Pilates, can help improve your posture and make you appear taller. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein is important for bone health. Adequate sleep is also crucial for overall growth and development. Unfortunately, there are no medications or supplements that can significantly increase your height at your age.
