I'm having trouble finding the Extend hair tablet my dermatologist recommended for my hair fall issue. Are there any similar alternatives that are more readily available? Would really appreciate any suggestions.

View allI'm really struggling with this skin issue that's been bothering me since I was thirteen. I have this mole that's the same color as my skin, which I tried treating with baking soda, but that was too awkward to keep up with, so I just covered it with a bandage. Eventually, it fell off, but now there's another oneit's bigger and swollen, around 2 cm on my jaw. I've been trying homeopathic medicine which seems to be helping a bit with the swelling, but it's still there. A doctor suggested laser treatment, but I'm really scared of that. I've been using coconut oil as a home remedy, but I'm concerned about the scar it might leave. Could you advise on any natural treatment options that might help with both the mole and its scar?
I would recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the scar left by the mole. You can apply it twice a day for several weeks to see improvement. Additionally, you can try using silicone gel sheets to help flatten and fade the scar. As for the mole itself, since it has reduced in size with homeopathic treatment, you can continue applying coconut oil regularly to see if it further helps in reducing it. If you want to explore other options, you can consider consulting a dermatologist who may suggest other topical treatments or procedures like cryotherapy to remove the mole.

I'm really worried about losing so much hair every time I apply oil or shampoo. I don't even do an oil massage, just a light application, and I always dilute my shampoo in water. I've tried a bunch of different shampoos, but nothing seems to work. Am I doing something wrong? Is it necessary to do an oil massage? My scalp is super oily, and my hair gets greasy just after two days. Should I keep using oil anyway?
Since you have an extremely oily scalp and experience greasiness within 2 days, you can opt for a clarifying shampoo like "Sebamed Anti-Dandruff Shampoo" to help control oiliness and maintain scalp health. It is not necessary to apply oil if it worsens your scalp condition, but if you still prefer to use oil, choose a non-greasy formula and apply it sparingly to the ends of your hair rather than the scalp

I noticed this pimple-like bump on my butt just yesterday, and it really hurts when I touch it. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?
Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.
