I'm really worried because my hair was falling out at an alarming rate, but I've been oiling and massaging my scalp, and the hair fall has almost stoppedonly about 4 or 5 strands per day now. I'm just 19, and I've noticed some bald patches. Is there any way I can regrow the hair Ive already lost in those areas?

I've been having some issues with acne, especially whiteheads, and I think it might be a side effect from the B12 injections I had. The injections were Nervijen Plus and had ingredients like Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin, and Niacinamide. I got two shots, one on December 25th, 2017, and the other on January 1st, 2018. I'm wondering how long this acne could last? Every morning there's a new whitehead popping up. It's not as bad as it was, but it's still pretty annoying. Is there anything I can do or take to make this stop?

The acne caused by the B12 injection should subside on its own within 2-3 months, and to manage it, maintain good skincare habits, use acne treatments, avoid picking or popping whiteheads, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I've been really anxious since my circumcision surgery 44 days ago because the stitches are still there. How much longer do these typically take to dissolve? Also, I'm curious when the sensitivity might start to decrease. Is there anything I should be doing in the meantime?

No need to worry they dissolve in 120-180 days depending upon the type of material used, sensitivity will become less with time.
