View allIs it okay to use minoxidil and folliserum at the same time? Can they help control my hair fall? I'm really confused because I'm losing hair so early and I don't even know why. I have a pretty bad lifestyle though I eat a lot of tasty foods but not much fruit, drink little water, and I masturbate daily, which I can't seem to stop. Do you think these habits could be causing my hair fall? Doctors say masturbation is healthy, but it always leaves me feeling weak, sleepy, and moody, plus I'm very thin. Could this be affecting my hair and self-respect?
Yes, both products can be used at the same time but there are some considerations like application timing , since both products are typically applied topically , it's important to allow one product to absorb fully before applying the other. Applying multiple products may cause scalp irritation for some individuals. If you notice redness, itching,or discomfort, it might be helpful to reduce the frequency of application or consult with a dermatologist.

I'm currently taking Keraboost tablets and have been using them for about 8 days now, but I'm facing an issue. My hair seems to be falling out daily, and I've noticed it's getting worse, especially in the middle of my head. I'm pretty worried about it. Could it be a side effect of the tablets? What can I do to stop this?
Experiencing hair fall while using Keraboost tablets may indicate an underlying issue, such as excessive shedding, hormonal imbalance, or scalp conditions; consider consulting a dermatologist or trichologist to assess the cause and recommend adjustments to your treatment plan, including potential alternatives or additional supplements to address hair fall, and to ensure the Keraboost tablets are suitable for your hair and scalp type.

I've been dealing with severe pigmentation on my hands and neck, and I'm really struggling to find something that works long-term. Initially, I tried using Glyaha Koj with Diprovate, and it seemed to help, but once I stopped, the discoloration came right back. Then I moved on to using Melacare and Skinlite, but unfortunately, they didn't make much of a difference. I'm now wondering if chemical peels could be a solution here. Do you think they might help with this stubborn pigmentation?
Chemical peels containing ingredients like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid can help in reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone. It is important to consult a dermatologist to determine the most suitable type and strength of chemical peel for your skin type and pigmentation severity. One commonly used chemical peel for pigmentation is Cosmelan. It is a depigmentation treatment that helps to reduce melanin production and lighten dark spots. The treatment involves applying the Cosmelan mask in the clinic and then following a specific at-home care regimen. For your severe pigmentation concern on hands and neck, a series of chemical peel sessions may be recommended, typically spaced a few weeks apart. It is important to follow post-peel care instructions diligently, including sun protection, to achieve the best results and prevent further pigmentation. Always consult with a dermatologist before starting any new treatment to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your skin condition.
