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.

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection , candid cream for local application, once daily for 2 weeks is advised, also tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days is advised, if any allergic reactions dermat opinion is advised.

I'm 24 and I'm really worried about my hair loss. In just a couple of years, my hairline has gone back a lot, and I can easily see my scalp now, especially at the back of my head. Ive been trying out stuff like Castor oil, but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Should I consider getting a hair transplant at this age, or is it better to wait? Also, should I keep my hair short in the meantime? Would love your advice on this!
