I'm really worried because ever since I delivered my baby last September, I've been experiencing excessive hair loss. It's really unsettling, and I feel like I'm losing so much hair. Is there anything I can do to stop this hair fall and regrow what I've already lost?

What vitamin deficiency causes vertical lines in fingernails?

Our nails naturally develop slight vertical ridges as we age. However, severe and raised ridges can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia. Nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin B12 or keratin can result in fingernail ridges. Hormonal changes can also cause ridges to appear.

I've recently had surgery for a pilonidal cyst about a month ago. Now I'm really concerned about it not coming back. I talked to my doctor and asked if I need to keep the hair off the area around my butt, but he said it's not necessary, just to keep it clean and dry after showers. I've been following his advice, but I'm still not completely sure because, honestly, I'm pretty hairy in that area. So, I'm wondering if getting laser hair removal could be a good idea to help prevent the cyst from recurring. What do you think?

To minimize the risk of pilonidal cyst recurrence, consider the following: *Treatment Options* 1. *Laser Hair Removal*: Reduces hair growth, which can help prevent pilonidal cyst recurrence. Ensure you consult your surgeon or dermatologist before undergoing this treatment. 2. *Waxing or Sugaring*: Alternative hair removal methods that can help reduce hair growth. 3. *Depilatory Creams*: Dissolve hair at the surface of the skin, making it easier to remove. *Advice* 1. *Maintain Good Hygiene*: Continue to keep the area clean and dry, as advised by your doctor. 2. *Avoid Tight Clothing*: Wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce friction and irritation. 3. *Monitor the Area*: Regularly inspect the area for any signs of recurrence, such as redness, swelling, or drainage. 4. *Follow-up Appointments*: Attend scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon or dermatologist to ensure the area is healing properly. *Precautions* 1. *Consult Your Surgeon or Dermatologist*: Before undergoing any hair removal treatment, consult your surgeon or dermatologist to ensure it's safe and suitable for your individual case. 2. *Avoid Sharing Personal Care Items*: Prevent the spread of bacteria by using personal care items exclusively.
