I'm really worried about my hair. A couple of years ago, I used a hair straightening cream and ended up with all these side effects like hair loss, thinning, dandruff, and a dry scalp. I've lost so much hair now that Im practically bald. What can I do to fix this? I could really use some advice on how to manage or reverse these effects.

I'm really worried about something going on with my scrotum skin. It's gotten really dry, wrinkled, tight, and it's itching a lot, with a bit of redness too. I've tried using talcum powder and moisturizing cream, which helps for a bit, but then the itching comes back. This has been happening for the past couple of days. Could this be just from sweating, or is there a chance it could be something more serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a case of scrotal dermatitis, which can be caused by various factors including sweating, irritation, or fungal infection. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using talcum powder as it can sometimes worsen the condition.

I have a cut on my left hand that's not too deep but has left a complete mark. What treatment options are there for it? Also, if I consider plastic surgery, how much would it cost to get rid of the scar?

For a superficial cut leaving a scar on your left hand, several treatment options can help minimize its appearance. Topical treatments like silicone gel or cream, pressure dressings, and even some natural remedies can be effective. If you are considering scar revision surgery, it can alter the appearance of the scar but may not completely remove it, and the cost can vary based on the complexity of the scar and the surgeon's fees
