I'm really worried about my hair. It's thinning a lot on the top and front, and I have dandruff. Plus, I've noticed some white hairs, even when I shave, and this is all happening in my teenage years. Is there something wrong, and what can I do about it?

View allI'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 struggling with these holes from past pimples on my face, and they just won't seem to go away. I've also got these whiteheads on my nose that are really stubborn. I'm really curious if there are any home remedies you could recommend to help with these issues. Would love to hear what you think!
You can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas at night. This can help improve skin texture and promote collagen production to fill in the indentations over time. To get rid of whiteheads on the nose, you can try using products containing salicylic acid. A good option is Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, which contains salicylic acid to help unclog pores and reduce whiteheads. Use it as a face wash once or twice daily. Additionally, you can make a homemade face mask using honey and cinnamon. Mix one tablespoon of honey with half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and apply it to your face. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. Honey has antibacterial properties, while cinnamon can help improve blood circulation to the skin. Remember to patch test any new products or ingredients on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions before applying them to larger areas of the face.
