I started going to the gym back in November 2015, and now it's been about 56 months. I've noticed some stretch marks appearing near my armpit area. I've talked to my nutritionist and gym trainer about it, and even did some Googling. It seems like these marks might be popping up because my body is growing or adding more muscle. Does that sound right, or could there be another reason behind them? Should I see a dermatologist about this, or would a sports nutritionist be better to consult with? Any advice would be appreciated!

I'm really concerned about my hair fall since it has become so dry. I've tried oil baths and a bunch of homemade remedies, but nothing seems to work. Could this be due to climate change, and do you have any suggestions on what else I might do to improve the condition of my hair?
