I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing a lot of heat on my head lately, and it's been accompanied by excessive hair fall.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of scalp inflammation and hair loss. To help reduce the heat on your head and address the hair fall, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing Ketoconazole 2% to help with scalp inflammation. Additionally, taking a supplement like Biotin 10,000 mcg daily can support hair growth and reduce hair fall. Make sure to stay hydrated and manage stress levels as well, as these can also

I've been using serum for around 4 months, and now my hair feels really weak. They fall out even when I just run my hand through them. I think they've lost their strength. I realized I was applying the serum wrong, directly on the scalp before combing. I've stopped using it now, but I'm worried. What can I do to speed up the process of strengthening my hair again?

I've been using hydroquinone in the past to get flawless skin, and it worked really well for me. But then I had an acne breakout, so I stopped using it and switched to benzoyl peroxide cream. That cleared up my pimples, but now my skin is dark and pigmented. I'm not sure if I should start using hydroquinone again for the hyperpigmentation or if a chemical peel would be a better option. What do you think would work best for my situation?
