I'm dealing with male pattern baldness, and I think it's because of the DHT hormone. Could you recommend the best DHT blocker available in India? I'm really worried about my hair loss and looking for a solution that genuinely works.

Male pattern baldness can be challenging, but there are several natural DHT blockers that can help. Here are some of the best options available in India:

Foods rich in Vitamin C: Include foods like berries (especially blueberries), citrus fruits, and leafy greens in your diet. Vitamin C helps in reducing DHT levels.

Avocado: Rich in amino acids, proteins, and antioxidants, avocado helps in stimulating hair growth and blocking DHT.

Almonds: These nuts are rich in vitamin E, which conditions hair follicles and promotes hair growth.

Tomatoes: Lycopene present in tomatoes inhibits the production of DHT, promoting hair growth.

Eggs: Rich in biotin, eggs help in binding DHT hormone, reducing hair loss.

Green Tea: Vitamin B present in green tea promotes hair growth and blocks DHT.

Watermelon: Lycopene and vitamins C, B12, and B6 present in watermelon help in reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth.

Pumpkin Seeds: Rich in zinc, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids, pumpkin seeds help in blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

I've been dealing with exfoliative cheilitis, and my lips are constantly dry and peeling. They even turn white when they touch water, which I think might be a side effect from some vitamin supplements I took, though I can't remember exactly which ones. I'm currently seeing a dermatologist, but I haven't noticed much improvement. Is this condition something that can be cured?

Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
