I'm using Bontress leave-on lotion and I'm really curious about how effective it is and how long it might take to help with my hair fall. I've switched from using Hair For You 10 because it seemed to cause more hair fall and I didn't want to keep using it forever. My hair growth seems okay, but the hair fall has increased with the previous solution, which is why I decided to try Bontress. Could you let me know how many days it typically takes to see a reduction in hair fall with this treatment?

Bontress leave-on lotion, containing saw palmetto, biotin, and keratin, may help reduce hair fall by blocking dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone contributing to hair loss; while individual results vary, some users report noticeable improvements within 2-4 weeks, with significant reductions in hair fall after 8-12 weeks of consistent use;

I'm a 21-year-old guy and this morning, I noticed two mustard-yellow spots that are about 4x5 cm. There's no swelling or pain, but I feel a bit of numbness when I press on them. I've never experienced anything like this before and I don't have a history of liver issues. Plus, I haven't bumped or injured myself recently. Do you have any idea what it could be?
