I'm eating a lot of non-veg food every day, and I'm noticing my body feels hotter because of it. It's leading to pimples popping up on my chest and shoulders. Do you have any advice on how to change my diet to cool down my body? Are there any medications that could help clear these pimples up more quickly?

You may have to consult a Dermatologist to rule out other causes of pimples on your thorax. Medication such as antibiotics combined with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may be required in your condition. You can try to reduce heat in your body by incorporating cooling foods in your diet such as cucumber, watermelon, coconut water, and leafy greens. Additionally, avoid spicy and oily foods that can further increase body heat.

Can hair grow back?

Hair always grow according to its growth cycle but the total transition to old normal hair depends on the cause of hair loss. If hair loss is secondary to genetics then re-growth is doubtful unless a medical intervention is done. Hair loss secondary to infection, nutritional deficiency and damage may regrow once the cause is taken care.
