I'm dealing with melasma and pigmentation on my nose and skin, and I've tried tons of English medicines but haven't seen any results. I'm really interested in trying something new, but I'm curious about how long it might take to fully clear up this issue. Can you give me some guidance on that?

Can hair grow back after thinning?

Although hair regrowth is doubful, hair thinning needs early intervention. The longer you wait the less effective results are. If the reason for thinning hair is genetics, it will not grow back on its own.To grow back a healthy, full head of hair, you'll need to take action, and that involves reviewing different hair loss options.

I've had this dry whitish patch on the shaft of my penis for about six months now, and it's got me a bit worried. The skin on that patch is kinda wrinkly, and when I wet it with water or oil, it appears to go back to normal, but it still seems a bit lighter than the rest of the skin. Should I be concerned about this? What might be causing it, and is there anything I can do to treat or improve it?

The symptoms you described, including a dry, whitish patch with wrinkly skin on the penis shaft that normalizes with moisture, could be indicative of vitiligo, eczema, or lichen sclerosus; consult a dermatologist
