I had this accident about two and a half months ago, and now that the scab's gone, I'm left with this white patch of skin where the injury was more severe. I'm wondering if this will heal naturally. Also, this whitish skin has some red marks in places, and in some areas, the skin is raised. Should I be worried or is this part of the healing process?

View allI've been losing hair from the root, and I notice a black bulb at the end. This has been happening for about 56 months, and Im averaging around 55 hairs falling daily, mostly when I rinse my hair. Sometimes, my scalp feels a bit irritated. This is new for me because I didn't have hair loss issues before, and no one in my family has experienced baldness before 60. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing telogen effluvium, which is a form of temporary hair loss that usually occurs after a stressful event. To help with hair loss and promote hair growth, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% once daily on the scalp. Additionally, taking biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily can also help improve hair health. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid using harsh chemicals on your hair. If the symptoms persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've got this issue where the skin on my stomach and back is much darker than the rest of my body. My face and arms have a clearer and more even tone. I've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing seems to work. I even went for a chemical peel, but it only made a small difference for just a few days. I'm really puzzled and a bit worried. What could be causing this uneven skin tone and how can I effectively address it?
Normal.
