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?

View allI'm really concerned about these lines appearing near my shoulders and armpits on both sides. They've been there for almost a year and seem to be increasing over time. I'm worried because I don't know what they are or what's causing them. Can someone help me understand what this could be and suggest any remedies? I'd also like to know how I can prevent this from getting worse.

Can I use Dermadew cream for skin brightening, or should I try Angie Thailand soap instead? I'm really curious about what would work better. Could you please advise me?
For skin brightening, Dermadew cream is a safer option as it's a topical cream specifically formulated for skin brightening and hyperpigmentation, whereas Angie Thailand soap may contain harsh ingredients like hydroquinone or mercury, which can have adverse effects; however, always do a patch test and consult a dermatologist before using any new skincare product.

I tried using Salactin paint on my ankle to get rid of some hard skin, but after just a day, the skin turned black and red. It looks like it might be burnt. What should I do to treat this and help it heal?
Salactin paint contains salicylic acid, which can help soften and remove hard skin. However, it can also cause irritation, especially if used incorrectly or on sensitive skin. The black and red discoloration you've described suggests a chemical burn or severe irritation. To promote healing and reduce discomfort, follow these steps: Immediate Care 1. Stop using Salactin paint: Discontinue use immediately to prevent further irritation. 2. Wash the area: Gently wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove any remaining salicylic acid. 3. Apply a topical cream: Use a topical cream or gel containing aloe vera, hydrocortisone (1%), or calamine to help soothe and calm the skin.
