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.

Ive been dealing with this issue where the skin around my nose and chin is darker than the rest of my face. I even spoke to a dermatologist about it and tried the medicines and skin peeling methods they recommended, but they only seem to work as long as I keep using them. As soon as I stop, the darkness comes back. The rest of my face is much fairer in comparison. How can I get rid of this problem permanently?
While products like niacinamide and vitamin C can be effective, they require consistent use over several months to show noticeable results. Avoid harsh or bleaching agents that promise quick results, as they can cause further irritation and damage.

I'm noticing these small white and yellowish spots on the corners of my lips, and they've been there for about a month. They don't hurt or itch, but they look odd when I see them in the mirror. Any idea what this could be?
