I applied lime on a mole on my face on August 1st, 2017, and it led to a burn. The burned skin came off on August 7th, but now the area is red. I'm currently using Fucidin ointment as advised by my doctor, but it's still red. My engagement is on August 25th, 2017. Can you suggest how I can heal it or make it better?

Given the burn injury and prolonged redness, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice; in addition to Fucidin ointment, apply topical treatments like aloe vera gel, silicone sheets, or vitamin E oil to promote healing and reduce redness; also, try cool compresses, avoid direct sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to minimize scarring and hyperpigmentation, and hopefully, your skin will improve by your engagement date.

I've been losing a lot of hair recently and even noticed some bald spots. My doctor, Nimesh Shah, prescribed me MBSON SL 1500mg to take every morning for the past 15 days. I'm really hoping this will help with the hair fall. Can you tell if this will actually work for me?
This medicine MBSON-SL 1500mg is a combination of biotin, selenium, and zinc which are known to promote hair growth and reduce hair fall. The dosage of 1500mg is appropriate for daily use. It may help in improving your hair condition and reducing hair fall. It is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed

I'm only 18, and I'm really worried because I'm facing pattern baldness at such a young age. I'm the only one among my peers with this V-shaped hairline; everyone else my age has a straight hairline. I feel like I'm odd one out and really don't know how to cope with this. Honestly, it makes me feel very self-conscious and upset. I'm aware that the usual treatments are things like propecia and rogaine, or finasteride and minoxidil, but I'm thinking about taking Dutasteride avodart instead. Could that be a good option for me? I'm just wondering if this will help or if there's something else I should consider. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
