I'm really concerned about my hair situation lately. Over the past two months, I've been losing more hair than usual, and my scalp has started to show through. Also, I've noticed a couple of black spots on my scalp. I'm really hoping you can offer some advice on how I can deal with these spots and also prevent any further hair loss. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

You can try using minoxidil solution 5% applied to the scalp twice daily. Additionally, taking biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily can help promote hair growth. For the black spots on your scalp, you can use ketoconazole shampoo twice a week to help with any fungal infections that may be causing the spots. If the black spots persist, it is important to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with hair loss and a bit of baldness, and I read somewhere that glutathione might help. Can you tell me if it's effective for this issue? Just want to know if it's worth trying out.
Glutathione is an antioxidant that is naturally produced in the body. While there is some anecdotal evidence suggesting that glutathione may have benefits for hair health, there is limited scientific research to support its effectiveness specifically for hair loss and baldness. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on managing hair loss and baldness.

I've been dealing with this annoying fungal skin infection. It's this jock itch thing, causing a circular-shaped itchy rash, and I think it might be ringworm. It's changing the skin color around my groin area and inner thigh. Could you suggest any Ayurvedic remedies that might help? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.
