I'm 11 and I've had chicken pox, and since then I've noticed some moles on my face that just won't go away. Also, I've been dealing with acne, mostly on my forehead and chin. Could you give me some advice on how to get rid of these moles and what to do about the acne issue?

There is no relation between chicken pox and moles. Acne is a common problem in your age group. Do not pop out your acne as they will leave scars. Avoid using hair oil as this can aggravate your acne on forehead.

I've been really worried because my hair has started falling out a lot again and my crown line is receding. It all kicked off about two years ago, and even though I've been to different doctors, nothing seems to stick. Last year, in August, a doctor in Mumbai prescribed me a bunch of stuff: Capsule hair fix advance 1mg, Finax 1mg tablets, spray Grocapix, lotion Adroanagen, and Foliglo shampoo. After using these for a month, there was improvement, but now the hair fall is back. What should I do next?

According to your history it looks like androgenic alopecia if at all the above medications did work continue them as your Dermatologist advised,and balanced diet with extra protein and adequate sleep will help.

I've just started taking medication for hair treatment since early September 2017 and I've come across some stuff about potential side effects. I'm kinda worried because some articles I read online are making me anxious. Are these side effects common for everyone, or is it just a few cases?

Continue same treatment.

My hair has been falling out for about six years now, and I'm only 29. I began using Tugain 10 solution a year ago, but sometimes I forget to apply it regularly. It's been a whole year, but my hair is still falling out every day. I really want to find a way to stop this hair loss and hopefully grow new hair. What would you suggest I do?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
