I've been dealing with hair loss and went to see a dermatologist who prescribed some medications. I've been using two lotions - URTO and Racine - along with biotin and vitamin tablets for about 12 days now. However, instead of getting better, my hair loss seems to have tripled. Is it possible these medications aren't working for me, or is increased hair loss a normal part of the treatment process?

Increased hair loss in the first few weeks of treatment can be normal, especially with medications like minoxidil. It's part of the transition as your hair follicles shift into a new growth phase. Stick with the treatment for a couple of months, but if you feel uncomfortable or the shedding doesnt stop, definitely reach out to your dermatologist.

View allI've been dealing with some hair issues ever since I got my hair straightened about a year ago. My hair was pretty thick, so the stylist left the chemical on for 20 minutes longer than recommended. Now, my new hair growth seems a lot thinner, and I'm also experiencing quite a bit of hair loss even after all this time. Is it possible for my hair to grow back thicker, or do you think the roots might be damaged? The doctor I spoke with suggested using Folliserum. Do you think that'll help with reducing hair fall and boosting new growth? I'm also thinking about a hair transplant, just for the front part because I've lost a lot there. How much do you think I'd be charged for something like that here in Bangalore?
Hair thinning and loss can occur due to various reasons, including damage to the hair follicles from chemical treatments. While it is possible for hair to grow back thicker with proper care and treatment, it may take time. To help with hair growth and thickness, you can try using Minoxidil solution on the affected areas. It can help stimulate hair growth and prevent further hair loss.3 Folliserum is a good choice as it contains biotin, keratin, and other vitamins that can help nourish the hair follicles and promote hair growth. Regarding the hair transplant for the frontal part of your hair, the cost can vary depending on the clinic and the number of grafts needed. In Bangalore, the cost of a hair transplant can range from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 1,00,000 or more, depending on the clinic and the expertise of the surgeon.

I'm noticing that my beard is getting white, but my hair isn't. It used to be just 56 follicles, but now it feels like about 30% of my beard has turned white in just six months. Is there something specific that causes this kind of change in beard color compared to hair? Should I be worried, and are there any ways to slow down or reverse this process?

I've noticed that the skin on my finger joints and knuckles is really rough and dark. It's not dry or anything, but the texture feels different from the rest of my skin. I'm kind of worried about why that might be happening. Could there be specific reasons for this?
