I'm curious about using onion juice for hair regrowth, especially for male pattern baldness and some genetic issues. Could it cause any side effects?

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.

I've been getting this weird mark that looks like a hickey on my neck. It's shown up three times in the exact same spot since last fall. The thing is, I know it's definitely not a hickey, and it doesn't itch or hurt. I'm pretty nervous because I haven't done anything that might cause it. I'm 39 and in decent health, and even using hydrocortisone cream hasn't helped. It's hard to see a doctor because by the time I get an appointment, it disappears. It just pops up out of nowhere. What do you think might be going on?
