I'm a bit confused about what to do after a 25% TCA peel. I've heard different things about whether or not I should use moisturizer right away. Some people say it might slow down the healing process. Is there any truth to that?

Question

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I'm experiencing some hair fall issues that's creating gaps in my hair. I've been advised to try Indulekha oil to help regrow my hair, fill those gaps, and stop the hair fall. I'm wondering about the best way to apply it. Is it okay to put the oil on at night and wash it off later? Can I use the oil every night before bed, or is that too frequent? How long should I keep up with this routine to see some results? Would love some guidance!

Question

I've been dealing with hair loss and dandruff since 2013 and nothing seems to work. Ive tried antibiotics, tretinoin, and special shampoos, but I still have severe hair fall, with hair roots attached to these little sebum beads. It's even affecting my back and shoulders now. I don't have those dandruff scabs anymore, but my scalp gets super dry after washing and then it's oily and smells bad the next day. My vitamin D and ferritin levels are low, and even though I've taken meds for that, it hasnt helped much. My periods are lighter than they used to be, but my TSH and prolactin levels are normal, and I dont have PCOS. I also have really poor digestion and feel exhausted doing physical tasks. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do?

I'm dealing with macular amyloidosis, which has caused the skin on my legs to become pigmented. I'm really looking for any treatment options to help with this issue. I've attached a picture for more clarity. Could you advise on any potential solutions?
