I'm dealing with a recurring corn in the same spot even after having it surgically removed. I'm considering going the ayurvedic route, maybe even something like agnikarma. My big worry is, will the skin grow back normally there? And if so, how long does that usually take? Also, I'm curious about how laser removal works for this. How does the skin heal afterward?

To address your concerns, skin regrowth after surgical removal of a corn can take several weeks to months, Agnikarma is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment that can be effective in removing corns, and laser removal uses high-intensity light to target and remove affected skin tissue, with skin recovery typically taking a few days to a week.

View allI have a hereditary hair thinning problem where the spacing between my hair has increased and I've lost hair from my forehead. Can this be fixed with medicine or will I need surgery?
Hereditary hair thinning, including a receding hairline and increased spacing between hairs, can be addressed with both medications and, in some cases, surgery. Medications like minoxidil and finasteride can help slow down hair loss and may stimulate regrowth, while hair transplantation offers a more permanent solution by moving hair follicles from resistant areas to the thinning scalp.

I've been dealing with these really itchy scalp bumps for the past couple of months, and it's getting pretty unbearable. Sometimes, my scalp also flakes off in these dry little crumbs. It all started when I switched from a keto diet to a regular diet and noticed it got really hot and humid around the same time. I've tried everythingdandruff shampoos, hemp oil, apple cider vinegar rinses, tea tree oil, and organic shampoos. I've even played around with washing my hair more and less often, but nothing seems to work. What could be causing this, and what else can I do to make it stop?
You may be experiencing a condition called seborrheic dermatitis, which is a common skin condition that mainly affects your scalp. The symptoms you described, such as itchy bumps, flaking skin, and bleedingscabbing from scratching, are characteristic of seborrheic dermatitis. The change in diet and weather conditions may have triggered or worsened the condition. I recommend using an anti-fungal shampoo containing ketoconazole, such as Nizoral. You can use it 2-3 times a week for a few weeks to help control the itching and flaking. Additionally, a corticosteroid lotion or foam, like Clobex, can be applied to the affected areas to reduce inflammation and itching. It is important to follow the instructions provided with these medications and consult with a healthcare provider if the symptoms persist or worsen.
