I'm really worried about my hair. It seems to fall out more quickly whenever I wash it, comb it, or even when I apply hair oil. What could be causing this, and how can I deal with it?

This could be due to various reasons such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or even certain medical conditions. To help reduce hair fall, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the scalp. Additionally, taking biotin tablets 10mg once daily can also help in improving hair health. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and try to manage stress through relaxation techniques or exercise. If the problem persists, it's best to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm experiencing a really bad burning sensation on my hands after cutting ginger and chillis, and it's been going on for about three hours now. I've tried some home remedies like using milk, but nothing seems to work. I even tried ValerateN cream and took a pain killer, but the pain is still unbearable. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do to relieve this?

I've been eating book and toilet paper since I was 12, and now I'm 21. Lately, I've been dealing with breast lumps, skin irritation, itchiness, and breakouts since June 2017. I also keep getting regular vaginal infections. Could this be related to my paper-eating habit, and what should I do about these symptoms?
