I'm worried about a burn scar I've had for about a month. There was a fire accident at my house, and I ended up with a superficial burn. It seems like only the first layer of my skin was affected. Is there anything specific I should do to help it heal better or reduce scarring?

Do acne scars go away?

That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.

I've noticed some purple dots on the head of my penis and the skin is also really dry. The foreskin doesn't seem smooth at all. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do about it? I'm getting a bit worried.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of irritation or an infection, possibly related to dry skin or a dermatological condition. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for an examination to rule out any underlying issues such as balanitis or other skin conditions. In the meantime, keeping the area clean and moisturized may help, but it's best to get a professional evaluation.

I'm living in Chennai and I'm worried about the water here since it's really salty and it seems to be affecting my hair a lot. I'm noticing that I'm losing about 50 strands every time I shower, and it's freaking me out because I didn't have this problem when I was back in my hometown. Plus, my scalp has been getting super itchy. Could you recommend a good shampoo for this situation? Also, any diet tips to help strengthen my hair would be great.

Minoxidil 5.. solution for local application is advised for 3-4 weeks, if any side-effects consult dermatologist.
