I'm really worried about hair loss that both my husband and I are experiencing. We've heard about using a mix of onion juice, garlic, and Evion 400 vitamin E capsules for scalp massages to help with this issue. Do you think this could actually aid in reducing hair fall, or should we consider other treatments? Any advice you could offer would be appreciated.

Yes that could help you,but visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I've been dealing with some skin issues lately, like allergies and more pigmentation than usual. I'm 25, and my doctor suggested I try Kojivit Plus gel for the pigmentation that's been bothering me for the past couple of months. I'm curious if it's a good option for skin whitening too. Should I continue using this gel? Any advice would be really helpful!

If you havent experienced any major irritation or side effects, and your dermatologist has recommended it, continuing the use of Kojivit Plus Gel for pigmentation is likely safe. However, if you notice any signs of worsening irritation or allergy, or if you feel like it's not working after consistent use, I would recommend getting back in touch with your dermatologist to discuss alternative treatments or adjustments.

I've been dealing with an oily scalp and hair loss and Im a bit worried because I also masturbate every two days. Is there any chance that masturbation could be causing this? Also, is it normal to masturbate every two days or around 3 to 4 times a week? If it's not considered normal, what steps can I take to manage or control my masturbation habits? I'm just trying to understand if there's a connection here or if I should be doing something different.

masturbation does not related with hair growth
