I'm really concerned about my hair loss and I'm wondering if it's possible for telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss to overlap, and if so, can this be treated or cured? Also, what exactly causes these issues with hair loss? It's really been bothering me and I would love some insights or advice on what to do next.

Telogen effluvium is usually triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes, while female pattern hair loss is often genetic. To treat Telogen effluvium, minoxidil solution can be used twice daily on the scalp. For female pattern hair loss, medications like finasteride can be prescribed to help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It is important to address the underlying causes and follow a consistent treatment plan for best results.

While surgery is the most effective way to remove lipomas, several non-surgical options can be considered, particularly for shrinking or managing lipomas that are not causing significant issues. These include steroid injections, fat-dissolving injections (lipolysis), laser therapy, and sometimes even natural remedies

I used Dettol on my face about a month ago, and initially, the affected area turned dark black. Now its more reddish with some black spots, and Im also having these small rash-like bumps and a bit of itching. Im wondering if this is part of the healing process? I've been using No Scars cream lately is that okay over Dettol burns, or should I try something else to help with the scarring and irritation?
