I'm really concerned about my hair situation lately. Over the past two months, I've been losing more hair than usual, and my scalp has started to show through. Also, I've noticed a couple of black spots on my scalp. I'm really hoping you can offer some advice on how I can deal with these spots and also prevent any further hair loss. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

You can try using minoxidil solution 5% applied to the scalp twice daily. Additionally, taking biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily can help promote hair growth. For the black spots on your scalp, you can use ketoconazole shampoo twice a week to help with any fungal infections that may be causing the spots. If the black spots persist, it is important to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
