I'm washing my hair every morning, but by the end of the day, if I scratch my scalp, there's a foul smell. This is really bothering me, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could it be something with my hair care routine, or do I need to see someone about this? Would love some guidance on what might be going on.

View allI've been experiencing hair loss from the center of my head, and it's definitely not a genetic issue. I've been using Navratna oil consistently for four years and have also been doing intense physical exercise to lose 28 kgs, while avoiding protein-rich foods. Could these habits be the reason for my hair loss? What treatments do you recommend?

I've been using Getlite cream and now my skin's become really red and itchy. It's kinda worrying me. Any idea on how I can get it back to normal? What could be causing this reaction? Would love some advice on what to do next.
To alleviate redness and irritation caused by Getlite cream, immediately stop using the product and apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer or a hydrocortisone cream to calm the skin; you can also try a cool compress or an aloe vera gel to reduce inflammation and promote healing, and if the irritation persists, consult a dermatologis

I've recently undergone RF treatment for my Xanthelasma, and while the wound has healed, the skin there doesn't quite match the rest of my skin tone. Do you have any recommendations for creams or treatments that could help even it out?
I would recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the skin and reduce any remaining discoloration. You can try using a cream like Melalite Forte cream, applying a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and prevent further darkening.
