Question

I'm a 17-year-old guy and I've noticed that my scalp is becoming visible through my hair, which is really worrying me. Living in Ajman, UAE, I suspect the shower water might be affecting my hair because I've heard its not great. I started using oil, hoping it might help, but I'm not seeing much of an improvement. Are there any home treatments or remedies you could recommend for hair issues like this?

Question

I'm noticing this short vertical red line on the bridge of my nose that pops up sometimes and then disappears after a few hours or days. I'm curious what might be causing this?

Question

I've been prescribed Keraglo AD antidandruff shampoo, Keraglo XL serum, and Keraglo Men tablets for my hair fall problem, but I'm a bit hesitant and have a few questions. I plan on just using the shampoo and tablets for now, but should I consider using the serum too? Also, I'm curious if there are any side effects I should be aware of with these products. The shampoo has ingredients like Aloe Vera, D-Panthenol, Ichthyol Pale, and Ketoconazole. The serum has Biochanin A, Tetrapeptide-3, and Acetyl Kera XL, with almond oil and Vitamin E. For the tablets, they contain Biotin, Calcium Pantothenate, Elemental Copper, Elemental Selenium, Elemental Zinc, and N-Acetyl L-Cysteine. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Question

I'm really concerned because my son was just diagnosed with pre vitiligo and has this peri patch near his right eye. The doctor mentioned it's a lengthy two-year treatment but assured me there's a good chance of success in kids. He seems healthy otherwise since all his test reports came back normal. We were given lanzol junior tablets and purolh syrup to take alternately for two months, along with emolene cream for his face. But now I'm noticing that the area under his left eye is getting lighter too. I've heard there's no real cure for vitiligo, and I'm really anxious about whether he will be cured. Could you please provide some guidance on this?
