But I'm not sure if it's really the right treatment for this. Do you think I'm using the right cream for this kind of infection, or should I be trying something else? It's been worrying me, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

I've heard about a medicine called REFOLLIUM that might help regrow her hair. Is it safe and effective for her condition?
