Onion juice may help promote hair regrowth, but its effectiveness for male pattern baldness, especially with genetic factors, is limited, and potential side effects include skin irritation, allergic reactions, and eye irritation.

Question

I've been dealing with a bit of a situation and could really use some advice. I had this small pimple on my forehead, and I ended up popping it early. I cleaned it up, but there was a bit of bleeding. I used some undiluted Dettol on a cotton swab to clean it, but that just made it worse and caused some irritation and a burn. I've tried soothing it with aloe vera gel, but now there's this dark circle, and it's been a few days. Any ideas on what medicine could help clear this up quickly?

I'm 21 years old and I'm starting to notice some bald spots, especially on my forehead and crown areas. I'm wondering if it's possible for my hair to grow back with a healthier diet, and without having to go through any surgical treatments. Is there hope for my hair to regrow naturally?

I'm a bit worried about a burn I got on my foot from accidentally touching the bike silencer a couple of days ago. There's no pain unless water gets on it, then it really starts to hurt. I'm looking for a good ointment to help with it. I've attached a picture of the woundcould you take a look and suggest something that might help?
