I'm struggling with hair loss and my PRP treatment doesn't seem to be working. It's really getting me down because I've spent a lot of money, and I'm still losing hair, especially at the front. I'm desperately looking for effective suggestions so I can regain my confidence. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Only prp will not work. You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. consult dermatologist

I'm wondering how I can get rid of the blade cut marks on my arm. Is plastic surgery the only option, and if so, what might this treatment cost approximately?

To get rid of blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets such as Strataderm. Apply a thin layer over the scar twice daily for at least 60-90 days for best results. Additionally, you can use Mederma cream which contains onion extract and allantoin to help improve the appearance of scars. It is important to apply these products consistently for several months to see noticeable improvement. If the scars are deep and extensive, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for other treatment options such as laser therapy or steroid injections. However, the cost of plastic surgery or other treatments can vary depending on the severity of the scars, the type of procedure needed, and the location of the clinic.
