I'm a 35-year-old guy working as a software engineer with regular hours from 10 AM to 7 PM in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Each summer, I'm dealing with this burning sensation on the top of my right foot, just behind my toes. It's weird because it only happens when I'm trying to sleep, causing me to wake up sometimes in the middle of the night. Any idea what could be causing this or how to get rid of it?

I've noticed that after getting PRP done on October 10th, my hair seems to be falling out more when I brush it, and it's even shedding when I wash it lately. Could this be a reaction to the PRP treatment not working well for me, or is this kind of hair fall normal after the treatment? What can I do to manage this, and how should I take care of my hair right now?
