I'm an 18-year-old guy dealing with some serious male pattern baldness. It's getting worse, and now there's this awkward bald patch on my forehead that's really noticeable in daylight. My doctor mentioned trying PRP and stem cell therapy, which sounds promising, but it's an 8-week thing and honestly, I'm thinking of just shaving my head in the meantime because the bald spot is pretty embarrassing. Do you think it's okay to shave my head before starting the PRP and stem cell treatments? Also, is it safe or effective to switch between PRP and stem cell therapies during this period?

Shaving your head before starting PRP and Stem-cell therapy is perfectly fine and will not interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment. In fact, shaving your head may even help improve the absorption of the treatment into your scalp. As for taking PRP and Stem-cell therapy alternatively, it is safe and can be effective in promoting hair growth. Just make sure to follow your doctor's recommended dosage and treatment plan for optimal results.

I've noticed something growing on my right bass, and it's really painful whenever I touch it. What could this be, and should I be worried?
Loose skin on the labia majora can be a concern. _Natural methods to tighten loose skin:_ 1. *Kegel exercises*: Strengthen your pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises, which can help tighten the skin. 2. *Squats and lunges*: Regular squats and lunges can help tone the muscles around the labia majora. 3. *Yoga and Pilates*: Certain yoga and Pilates exercises, such as pelvic tilts and bridges, can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. 4. *Vaginal tightening creams*: Some natural creams, such as those containing aloe vera, vitamin E, or tea tree oil, may help tighten the skin. 5. *Estrogen-boosting foods*: Include estrogen-boosting foods like soybeans, flaxseeds, and sesame seeds in your diet. _Why looseness occurs at 24:_ 1. *Hormonal changes*: Fluctuations in estrogen levels can cause skin laxity. 2. *Childbirth*: Although you're 24, if you've had a child, childbirth can cause stretching of the skin. 3. *Genetics*: Genetic factors can influence skin elasticity. 4. *Aging*: Skin naturally loses elasticity with age. 5. *Lack of exercise*: Sedentary lifestyle can contribute to weak pelvic floor muscles.
