My wife got PRP treatment a few days ago, and now her forehead's really swollen. Is this something we should be worried about? It's been three days since the procedure, and we just want to know if this kind of swelling is normal.

Can you give some details like for what was the platelet rich plasma therapy done on your wife? Swlling at the site of injection, pain, soreness etc are common and they usually subside on its own. But swelling on forehead is not a side effect.

I've always had dry and rough hair, even since I was born, and I've been dreaming of having soft, silky hair. My hair is also pretty thick, and I've been considering treatments like smoothening and straightening. I'm just worried about how these might affect my hair in the long run. Is there something else I should be doing? Are there alternative methods I might not have thought about?

I'm really struggling with lichen planus on my legs for the past 5 years and it's been a tough journey. I've tried homeocare for over 4 years, but it hasn't helped much and I'm getting really frustrated. Can you suggest any better treatments available in Hyderabad? I'm looking for something that could actually make a difference.
