I'm curious about Hijamawet cupping treatment and its effectiveness for hair loss. Can this actually help with regrowing hair that's already fallen out? I've been seeing a bunch of YouTube videos about using Hijama on the scalp for hair regrowth, and I'm wondering if there's any truth to it. Is it worth exploring further?

Hijama therapy, also known as wet cupping, involves creating suction on the skin to promote blood flow. It is commonly used for various health conditions, including treating hair loss. Hair loss can be caused by various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and medical conditions. For hair loss treatment, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist or a trichologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. There are FDA-approved medications like minoxidil (brand name Rogaine) and finasteride (brand name Propecia) that are commonly used to treat hair loss.

I'm feeling pretty worried about these acne marks on my nose. I've been using Aziclear serum like my dermatologist suggested, but it's been over 6 weeks and I haven't noticed much change. The mark has lightened just a little bit, but now it feels even more obvious because of its size. My skin is generally dry, and I've got blackheads and bumps mostly just on my nose. Do you have any advice on what I could do or should I consider something else?
