I've been dealing with an infection that keeps popping up on the back of my head, right on the scalp. I usually use soframycin, and it clears up in about 3 to 4 days, but then it just reappears after maybe 1 to 2 months. I'm trying to figure out what's causing this and what precautions I should be taking to prevent it from coming back. Any insights you could share?

I've been using mintop 10 for a couple of months, but lately, like over the last 10 days, my hair fall seems to have increased. Should I keep using it or is it better to stop? Can you give me some advice on what to do?

I'm struggling with hair loss and my PRP treatment doesn't seem to be working. It's really getting me down because I've spent a lot of money, and I'm still losing hair, especially at the front. I'm desperately looking for effective suggestions so I can regain my confidence. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Only prp will not work. You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. consult dermatologist
