I'm really worried about my hairline; it's receding and my hair is getting super thin. I went to see a doctor and he prescribed me Tricosilk Max 5, but I didnt notice any improvement, so I stopped seeing him. A while later, I started using Tricosilk again, but now that it's unavailable, I switched to Mintop 5. Is it okay to continue with this? Should I be doing something else?

I'm dealing with acne vulgaris and it's been about a year now. I recently heard about Evion 400mg tablets and was wondering if it's safe to take them daily for my skin condition. Could this help my acne at all?

I'm worried about a scar on my face from when I hit the ground really hard three months ago. It seemed to lighten up before using coconut oil, but now it looks like the mark has become permanent. I'm self-conscious about it as it looks odd on my face. Are there any lotions or creams you would recommend to help with this?

Treatments* 1. *Silicone Gel or Sheets*: Can help flatten and soften the scar tissue. 2. *Hydroquinone Cream*: Fades hyperpigmentation, but use with caution and under medical supervision. 3. *Tretinoin Cream*: Derivative of vitamin A, promotes collagen production and cell turnover. 4. *Corticosteroid Cream*: Reduces inflammation and itching. *Natural Remedies* 1. *Aloe Vera Gel*: Soothes and calms the skin. 2. *Tea Tree Oil*: Has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. 3. *Vitamin E Oil*: Promotes collagen production and skin elasticity. 4. *Cocoa Butter*: Moisturizes and nourishes the skin. *Additional Tips* 1. *Massage*: Gently massage the scar tissue with your fingertips in a circular motion. 2. *Sun Protection*: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent further darkening of the scar. 3. *Keep the Area Moisturized*: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated.
