I'm dealing with frequent hair fall and complete hair loss, and my scalp now looks bald. There's no dandruff, but its smooth and shiny like a cricket ground, and Im really struggling with confidence because of it. Its something that runs in my family, but I desperately want to get back a full volume of hair. Can you offer any advice on treatments or solutions that might help restore my hair?

I'm thinking of using Retino A 0.05 with Deriva CMS to tone it down a bit. Do you think that'll help with the flaking and redness that everyone talks about in the beginning? I'm really worried because I have to go to work and can't be dealing with a peeling face at the office. Could this combo work for me?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm really worried because I've had 20 injections of dexamethasone, gentamycin, and deriphyllin in my buttocks over 5 days. Didn't feel any pain during the injections, but now, two days later, there's pain and these lumps have formed on both sides. Been using thromophob cream and taking Zerodol SP for 10 days, but the lumps and pain aren't going away. What should I do?
