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?

View allI've been using this honeymilk face pack overnight, about 12 hours, and even applied it to my eyebrows. My friend just mentioned that using honey on eyebrows can turn them white. Should I be worried? Is it true that honey can do that? Please let me know what you think.

I was combing my son's hair today and noticed these small black spots on his scalp. They seem dry and come out with his hair when I comb it harder. He hasn't mentioned any itching or pain, but I'm kind of worried. What could these spots be, and should I do anything about it?
That could be Dermatophytic infection, wash his scalp regularly and avoid scratching, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I've been dealing with a ton of facial hair, and it's really driving me up the wall. I keep up with threading and waxing, but it's getting to be such a bother. Do you think laser treatments would be a smart move for me? I'm wondering how many sessions I'd need to cover my entire face. Also, are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Laser hair removal can be a good option for reducing facial hair. It is effective in targeting hair follicles and reducing hair growth over time. The number of sessions required for the entire face can vary depending on individual factors such as hair thickness and skin tone, but typically around 6-8 sessions may be needed for optimal results. Some common side effects of laser hair removal on the face may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort during the procedure. It is important to follow post-care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to minimize any potential side effects. You can consider using brands like Lumenis LightSheer for laser hair removal on the face. The dosage and frequency of sessions will be determined by the healthcare provider based on your individual needs.
