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 got these white patches and flaky skin around my groin and thighs, and it's really itchy at times. I've been using itch guard for about two days now, but it's not helping at all. Should I keep using the itch guard or is it time to see a doctor about this?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream, I recommend keeping the affected area clean and dry. You can continue applying the antifungal cream twice a day for 2-4 weeks. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen after a week of using the cream, it would be advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
