I'm having this weird issue where every night my knees and elbows start itching, and I get these small rashes. I've been using Tetmosol soap and Dettol liquid when I bathe, but I'm not sure if that's helping. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or any suggestions on what I should do?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I've noticed that my armpits have turned dark and patchy, and there's a bit of swelling too. It gets itchy, especially when I sweat. I don't put deodorant directly on my skin. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm really struggling with hair fall, and my hair has gotten so thin because of it. Are there any shampoos or oils you could recommend that might help? I've noticed that the hair on my forehead is getting sparser on both sides. I've even tried treatments from doctors, but they only seem to work while I'm taking the tablets. For hair regrowth, they suggested Himalaya Hairzone Hairfall solution, but I haven't seen any results. What can I do to stop the hair fall and help my hair grow back thicker?
