I'm dealing with some pretty significant hair fall and I'm really hoping to put a stop to it and get my hair to be thick and dense again. I've heard about treatments like Minoxidil and Mesotherapy and I'm curious about the average cost for these. Also, once I start treatment, how long can I expect the effects to last?

Minoxidil is more affordable, with costs around 300 to 700 per month, but results only last as long as you continue using it. Mesotherapy is more expensive, typically costing 2,000 to 5,000 per session, and often requires multiple sessions to achieve noticeable results, but it can provide more long-term improvements with maintenance.

I recently stopped taking my iron tablets and I've noticed that my skin is getting more pigmented. I'm really curious if this will go away now that I've quit the pills. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I've had these milia seeds on my eyelids for as long as I can remember, like 56 years, and no doctor has been able to really help me out over this past year. I've even tried some laser treatments that were supposed to work by burning off the top layer of skin, but they just keep coming back. Is there any actual solution for this? Also, what's causing them in the first place? It's been pretty frustrating, and I just want to know if there's anything else I can try or understand why they keep reappearing.

Consider consulting a dermatologist for alternative treatments like manual extraction, micro-needling, or chemical peels, and adopt preventative measures such as gentle skin care, regular exfoliation, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle to manage persistent milia seeds on your eyelids.
