I'm really concerned about my hair loss and heard that hijama wet cupping might help remove DHT from the scalp. Could this actually work for hair loss? Would love to know if it's a viable option or just a myth.

Hijama (wet cupping) has limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness in removing DHT from the scalp or curing hair loss, and its benefits are largely anecdotal,

I'm dealing with some hair fall issues and stumbled upon Himalaya's anti-hair loss cream. I'm wondering if it's effective for tackling hair fall. Do you think it's worth giving it a try, or should I look for something else?

Himalaya's Anti-Hair Loss Cream may be beneficial for mild hair fall due to its natural ingredients, but its effectiveness varies from person to person, and it's not a substitute for medical treatment for underlying conditions.

I'm struggling with dark circles under my eyes and it's been really frustrating. I already saw a dermatologist and they prescribed Lumiedge under eye gel, but I'm not seeing any results at all. Could you recommend something more effective for these under eye dark circles? I'm really looking for a solution that actually works.

If Lumiedge under eye gel did not show any improvement, you can try using a different product containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and vitamin C. You can use Melalite cream at night and apply a thin layer of Kojivit Plus gel in the morning. Remember to use sunscreen during the day.

I'm using Onabet cream for my tinea incognito, and I'm noticing that the groin area is getting more red, plus there's this burning and itching sensation after I apply it. Is this a normal reaction, or should I be worried about it?

Lulican cream for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
