I'm living in Chennai and I'm worried about the water here since it's really salty and it seems to be affecting my hair a lot. I'm noticing that I'm losing about 50 strands every time I shower, and it's freaking me out because I didn't have this problem when I was back in my hometown. Plus, my scalp has been getting super itchy. Could you recommend a good shampoo for this situation? Also, any diet tips to help strengthen my hair would be great.

I'm really concerned about the number of moles on my face and wondering if there's a way to get rid of them without leaving any scars. Is that possible?

Removing moles without any scars is not always guaranteed, but you can consider using topical creams containing imiquimod or tretinoin to help reduce the appearance of moles. Additionally, laser therapy or surgical excision performed by a dermatologist can also be effective in mole removal with minimal scarring. It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your specific case.

I'm a bit confused about the prescription my doctor gave me. They've suggested using Proanagen solution on my scalp at bedtime, mentioning something about '4 in night'. Does this mean I should apply it every night, and do I need to wash my hair in the morning? Any advice would be really helpful!

Proanagen solution is likely a hair growth promoter. _Application Instructions_ 1. Apply Proanagen solution to your scalp at bedtime. 2. Leave it on for 4 hours or overnight. 3. Wash your hair the next morning. _Daily Application_ Yes, apply Proanagen solution daily, as directed, for optimal results.
