I'm dealing with dandruff and hair fall, and I've suddenly started noticing some white hairs. I'm considering shaving my head. What do you think, is it a good idea? And is there any chance that shaving my head could make things worse or affect the way my hair grows back, considering the issues I'm already having?

I've been using BTN Ultra for my hair and saw great results initially, but now that I'm in my third month, my hair's starting to fall out and it's getting thinner. I'm getting worried because there's a history of baldness in my familymy dad's side. Could this be related, or is there something else going on? Would appreciate any insights!

following up with your doctor or dermatologist to discuss these changes and potentially adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

I'm experiencing some itching, and then it swells up like a mosquito bite afterwards. Could you recommend any cream for this? My dad was told to use FZHH 150, IVECOP12, SIZON FORTE, HHMITE SOAP, and a couple of other creams by a doctor. Can you suggest something similar that might work for me?

I recommend you to use a cream containing Hydrocortisone and Calamine for the itching and swelling. You can apply it topically on the affected area 2-3 times a day.
