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 went to a hair treatment clinic for hair fall issues, and they mentioned that three PRP sessions would permanently stop my hair fall. Is that really true, or do I need to keep getting PRP treatments regularly to maintain the hair growth I've gained? I'm a bit worried and just want to get a clear answer.

no prp is not permanant

I've noticed some dark patches in my groin area and on my lower back, and it's getting pretty itchy and dry. Also, the skin on my minora has turned hyperpigmented and has this papillary texture, which I've only been seeing for the last few days. It's kinda concerning. What do you think might be going on?
