I'm dealing with really rough and frizzy hair right now and I'm thinking about getting a keratin treatment. But I've also got a lot of dandruff at the moment. Is it a bad idea to go ahead with the keratin treatment while I'm dealing with dandruff, or should I wait until it clears up? Also, does a keratin treatment lead to any hair loss? Would love some advice.

My hair at the front of my head has become really dry and super thin lately. I'm worried about it! How can I make them healthy again? What should I be doing to help with this?

To make your dry and thin hair healthy again, you can try using minoxidil solution. Apply 1ml of minoxidil solution twice daily on the affected area of the scalp. Additionally, you can take biotin supplements to promote hair growth and improve hair health. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and guidance.

Can I have my biotin supplement 10000 mcg with milk or is that a no-go? And is it true that taking 10000 mcg of biotin every day might actually cause hair loss?

I've woken up the past two mornings with these red, itchy bumps on the right side of my neck and right hand, kind of like insect bites. They're nowhere else on my body. I stopped using a fan while sleeping recently. Could these be mosquito bites or something else? What should I use to treat them?
