I'm 21 and my hair's been getting really thin lately. It's to the point where, if I put oil on, it looks kinda like I'm balding, but without oil, it seems more or less normal. My family's hair history doesn't include baldness, so I'm confused. Could it be a lack of protein, moisture, or is DHT the culprit here? I really want to get my hair thick again. Also, I was wearing a helmet a lot recently, and I think that made my hair dry and rough, turning it somewhat brown. I tried oiling it, and it's a bit silkier now, but still thin. Why is this happening, and how can I make my hair thick again?

I'm really worried because I used Melacare cream about three years ago, and now my skin seems to have gotten darker. I've attached a photo for reference. Can you suggest any remedies or treatments that might help with this?

I'm a bit worried about my hair loss. I've been using minoxidil 5% for quite a few years now, but the results have been pretty disappointing. I recently came across this new dutamax lotion that has dutasteride in it. Do you think it's safe or effective to use it on my scalp?

I've noticed some brown spots and patches appearing in my armpits. This has happened before and went away on its own, but now they've come back and are starting to spread to my other armpit. I'm really worried about it. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Fixderma nigrifix cream for local application once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient, any allergic reactions pls consult dermatologist.
