I'm curious if applying oil to my hair is really necessary. Does it help with hair regrowth or offer any benefits? Could you explain a bit more about this?

Applying oil to the scalp can help improve the health of the hair and scalp. It can help moisturize the scalp, reduce dandruff, and improve the overall condition of the hair. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the claim that applying oil alone can regrow hair. For hair regrowth, it is recommended to use medications like Minoxidil solution 5% applied twice daily on the scalp. This medication has been shown to promote hair regrowth in some individuals.

I'm really feeling overwhelmed because I've been dealing with Vitiligo for 12 years now, and nothing's working. I've tried homeopathy treatments but haven't seen any improvement. It's really frustrating. Is there something else I should be doing or a treatment that's better for managing this? I just want to understand my options and find something that might actually help.
Vitiligo can be challenging to cure, and homeopathy may not have been effective in your case; consider consulting a dermatologist to explore other treatment options, such as phototherapy (narrowband UVB), topical corticosteroids, immunomodulators, or skin grafting, which may help stabilize or repigment affected areas, and also discuss combination therapies and emerging treatments like JAK inhibitors.

I've had hidradenitis suppurativa for 10 years and I'm curious about CO2 surgery would it help my condition? I'm currently on medication like isotretinoin 20mg and clindamycin 300mg but still struggling with flare-ups. How effective is CO2 surgery compared to these meds and what should I expect?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
