I'm a bit worried because I've suddenly started experiencing hair fall and noticed there's a white bulb at the end of the hair strands. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hair fall with a white bulb at the end can be a sign of telogen effluvium, which is often triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes. To help with hair fall, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% once daily on the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin tablets 10,000 mcg daily can also support hair growth. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive heat styling or harsh hair treatments.

View allI'm a 25-year-old guy, and I'm trying to figure out if I should use Indulekha hair oil or minoxidil for my hair loss. I came across minoxidil online and noticed there are so many different products with that name. Which one would be more effective for my thinning hair and receding hairline? Also, do you think I should consult a dermatologist first before starting any treatment, or can I just go ahead and use one of these? I'm really worried as I notice a lot of hair falling out when I wash it. Any advice would mean a lot.
For hair loss, Minoxidil (Rogaine) is a clinically proven treatment, while Indulekha hair oil is a herbal supplement with limited scientific evidence; consider consulting a dermatologist before starting any treatment, as they can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss and recommend the best course of treatment.

I'm dealing with an open wound on my foot and have been using CIPLADINE Ointment to stop any bacterial infections and pus. I'm really concerned and curious if this ointment will also help the wound itself heal. Can you advise?
CIPLADINE Ointment will help keep the wound free of bacterial infections and therefore help prevent complications, but it is not primarily a wound-healing ointment. You may need additional treatment (such as moisturizing and tissue-repairing ointments) to help heal the wound itself.
