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 noticed these tiny black dots on both my earlobes, kind of the size of a pinhead. When I squeeze them, a little black thing comes out, and that's about it. Should I be concerned? What could they be?
On both earlobes, the tiny pinhead-sized black dots you are describing are likely blackheads. These are caused by clogged hair follicles. To treat this, you can use over-the-counter products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. I recommend using a face wash with salicylic acid daily, and applying a benzoyl peroxide cream as a spot treatment on the affected areas. Remember to follow the instructions on the product packaging for best results.
