I'm really worried about my hair loss. The crown of my head is almost bald now, but thankfully the rest of my hair seems okay. I'm wondering, is there really a medication out there that can reverse this permanently? And if medication can't cut it, what other steps should I consider taking?

Hair loss on the crown area, known as male pattern baldness, can be treated with medication to some extent. One of the most common medications for this is Finasteride, which is taken orally once a day. Another option is Minoxidil, which is a topical solution applied to the scalp twice a day. These medications can help slow down hair loss and promote some regrowth, but results vary from person to person. It's important to note that these medications need to be used continuously to maintain any benefits. If medication alone is not providing satisfactory results, another option to consider is hair transplant surgery. This involves moving hair follicles from areas of the scalp where hair is thicker to the balding areas. This can provide a more permanent solution to hair loss on the crown. It's best to consult with a dermatologist or a hair specialist to discuss the most suitable treatment option for your specific situation.

View allI've noticed my skin is getting darker, and I've got these patches with hard, dry areas. I was told it might be macular amyloidosis, so a doctor prescribed glutathione pills and some creams, but I didn't see any improvement and stopped. I'm really worried because I'm not sure if there's a permanent solution to this. Is there a more effective treatment out there?
Macular amyloidosis is a chronic skin condition that may not respond well to topical creams alone. However, there are other treatment options available. One option is to use topical corticosteroids to help reduce inflammation and itching. Another option is phototherapy, which involves exposing the affected skin to ultraviolet light. In some cases, oral medications such as antihistamines or immunosuppressants may be prescribed. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case.
