I accidentally spilled some hot oil on my fingers yesterday while cooking, and it's on my left hand. What would be a good way to treat it? I'm a bit worried about how to properly take care of it.

I'm a bit concerned about my hair fall situation. I've completed three PRP sessions over the past three months, with each session spaced a month apart. After the second session, I saw some improvement in hair fall, but it only lasted for about a week. Since then, it's back to the usual amount of hair falling. Is this normal, or is there something else I should be doing? I've been advised to use minoxidil 5, but I have to admit, I'm not very consistent with itmaybe around three to four times a week. Should I be looking into any vitamin deficiencies or consider trying some home remedies or self-care routines?

Yes consume protiene rich diet and maintain healthy sleep cycle that will help and also follow your doctors advice

I've noticed this dark patch of skin on my lower abdomen for the past few months, and now there's a red border forming around it. It's not itchy or raised, and it doesn't feel any different from the surrounding skin. What could this be? Should I be concerned?
