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.

Question

I'm really concerned about my wife's handsthey're turning purple, especially on the knuckles. They look like they're dirty, but there's actually no dirt on them. She mentioned that they feel really dry, probably because of the cold winter air. Is this just dry skin, or could it be something more serious?

Question

I'm dealing with some serious itching in my butt crack, and it's driving me crazy. Living in Mumbai, the humidity makes me sweat a lot, especially down there. I also have thick body hair, which doesnt help. Even touching it lightly causes a painful burning feeling. Any advice on what could help?
