I'm dealing with an old cut scar on my left hand, and I'm really interested in figuring out how to remove it permanently. It's been there for 67 years and happened due to a cutter. Could you advise me on the best way to get rid of it?

I'm an 18-year-old and my hair is just so smooth and silky that it keeps falling out, and it's really hard to keep any hairstyle in place because of that. I'm really hoping to find some solutions to make my hair a bit rougher so I can actually style it the way I want. What can I do to get that kind of texture?

Consider using hair products containing ingredients like sea salt, texturizing sprays, or dry shampoo to add volume and texture, or try hairstyles that work with silky hair, such as braids, buns, or ponytails, and for a more permanent solution, consult a Dermatologist

My wife's hair is falling out really fast, and I'm getting pretty worried. She had typhoid back in MayI'm not sure if that could be linked to her hair loss? A doctor told us to try a sulphate-free shampoo, but it doesn't seem to be making any difference. Any idea what we should do next?

I'm trying to figure out whether to use hydroquinone or Melaglow cream for my skin. Is there one that's more effective or better for certain conditions? I'm a bit confused about which one might be right for me. Any advice would be really helpful!

Hydroquinone cream is more effective than melagrow cream.
