View allI've been told to use Anaboom AD lotion, but the pharmacist gave me Anaboom AD Shampoo instead and said to use it like a lotion. I'm not sure if that's okay. Can I use the shampoo in place of the lotion, or do I need to get the right product?
You have to get Aboom AD lotion,not the shampoo

I'm a 23-year-old guy and I've been noticing I've been losing hair more than usual lately. My dad's side doesn't have great hair either, but he's not bald yet. I've given minoxidil a shot but it didn't really help. My hair density is super low right now, but my hairline is still intact. Is a hair transplant my only option? Or am I too young to go down that road?
Hair transplant may not be the immediate or only solution for you. Consider medical treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or PRP first, as they can slow or even reverse hair loss. You are not too young for a transplant, but its usually best to wait until your hair loss pattern is more stable.

I'm really worried about my 12-year-old daughter's hair turning white. She's got about 50 white hairs already. I'm not sure what to do or which treatment would be best. Can you tell me what type of doctor we should see for this issue?
Premature graying of hair can be due to various factors such as genetics, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, or stress. To address this issue, you can consult a dermatologist. They can evaluate the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment. In this case, the doctor may prescribe a medication like Minoxidil solution to help with hair regrowth and prevent further graying. The dosage and application instructions will be provided by the dermatologist after evaluation.
