I seem to be losing more hair every year. Usually, I shed about 50 to 70 hairs a day, which I know is normal, but the hair I lose has this little black bulb at the end. Is this something I should be worried about? Will new hair grow back? I'm aware of the hair cycle, so I'm looking for a straightforward answer beyond that.

View allI've been dealing with sinus issues for two years now and to help with the headaches, I've been using Zandu Balm on my forehead. But over the past year, I've noticed that part of my forehead has turned completely black. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can stop this from happening?
The use of Zandu balm on your forehead for an extended period has led to a condition called "contact leukoderma" or "chemical leukoderma." What is Contact Leukoderma? Contact leukoderma is a condition where the skin loses its pigmentation due to exposure to certain chemicals or substances. In your case, the prolonged use of Zandu balm has caused the skin on your forehead to lose its pigmentation, resulting in the black discoloration. How to Avoid Further Discoloration? 1. Stop using Zandu balm: Immediately discontinue the use of Zandu balm on the affected area to prevent further discoloration. 2. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess the affected area and provide guidance on treatment options. 3. Use sun protection: Avoid exposing the affected area to direct sunlight, as this can worsen the discoloration. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outdoors. 4. Avoid further irritation: Refrain from using harsh skin care products, exfoliating, or using hot water on the affected area, as this can cause further irritation and discoloration.

I'm 24 and pretty lean at just 46 kg, but I've got multiple lipomas. I'm thinking about taking a protein supplement to help gain some weight, but I'm worried about how it might affect the lipomas. Could it cause more of them to develop or make the existing ones worse? Anything I should be aware of before starting on a protein supplement?
