I've got these bald patches on the front part of my head, and my doctor said it's hormonal. They've advised me to use Hair4U 2 daily in the evenings. Now, I'm thinking about trying onion juice before washing my hair, but I'm not sure if it's okay to use both the onion juice and the Hair4U spray together. Can I mix these treatments, or should I be careful about it?

You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Along with this, you can also consider platelet rich plasma therapy for faster results. consult dermatologist

I'm dealing with ringworm on and off for the last 6 months and I'm really getting frustrated. I've tried loads of medicines and it sometimes improves, but then it comes back again. It all started when I had a longer-than-usual period, and now every month around that time, it flares up again. I did see a dermatologist, and their treatment almost cleared it up, but when my period hits, it pops back up, and now it seems to be spreading more. Do you have any advice on what's going on or what I should do?

I've had these burns on my face from hot oil spills for about two months now, and the marks just aren't going away. I've tried different creams, but nothing seems to work. What should I do?

For the marks left on your face, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can also use a cream with tretinoin, such as Retin-A cream, to help improve the texture of the skin.
