I'm noticing a lot more hairfall lately, especially after I comb my hair once it's dry from shampooinglike, I lose about 400-500 strands because my hair gets tangled. On other days, it's still happening but not as bad, maybe around 50 strands. I try to stay healthy by drinking 3-4 liters of water a day and exercising for about an hour daily. Plus, I don't really eat much oily food. Is there something I might be missing or should be doing differently to help with this hairfall?

To strengthen your hair and reduce breakage, you can try using a hair growth supplement like Biotin. Additionally, using a gentle shampoo like Nizoral can help with hair fall due to entanglement. You can also apply Minoxidil solution on your scalp to promote hair growth. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for each of these products.

I'm really worried about my sister. She's got these small warts on her neck and face, and they seem to be spreading to her chest and armpits. Sometimes they itch, but not always. She's tried using pure turmeric mixed with neem and potato juice, but nothing's really worked. Now she's been using Dettol and says that the burning feeling she had at first isn't there anymore. Do you think it's okay for her to keep using Dettol to get rid of the warts? If you have any other home remedy ideas, that would be great because she's not into the idea of laser treatment and it's really causing her some pain. Any advice?
