I've been dealing with hair problems for the last 23 years, and now my scalp is starting to show, especially in the middle. Can you please give me some advice on what I can do about this issue?

I recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, you can take Biotin tablets 10,000 mcg once daily to promote hair growth and overall hair health. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive heat styling or harsh chemical treatments on your hair.

I'm really worried about my skin. It's very dark and seems to react quickly to different climates and water. My skin gets oily so fast, like within half an hour, and it's sensitive too. I'm looking for a good medicated cream that can help reduce melanin. Could you recommend something that would work for my skin type?
