I'm 24 and recently found out my ESR level is 30. I've noticed my hair has been falling out for the past 3 years, and on top of that, I've been dealing with really bad dandruff for the last year. I'm starting to worry if there's a connection between these things. Could the high ESR be causing my hair issues and the dandruff? What should I do about it?

Could you help me figure out how to lighten the skin between my thighs? It's gotten darker, maybe from friction or wearing tight jeans. Also, near the scrotum, the skin is darker because I had ringworm there as a child. What can I do about this?

I'm really curious about platelet rich plasma. Does it actually work for bald spots? Is there any chance that it could help with hair regrowth? And if I decide to go for it, do you think my hair fall will stop, or will I still need to rely on medications? Also, I'm a bit worried about the cost. Can you give me some guidance on that?
