I've been dealing with malar bags and someone mentioned it might be due to an underactive thyroid. If that's true, could medication help improve them? I've been using tretinoin and taking a collagen supplement, but these bags really make me look older. Are there any other treatments or options you would suggest for these slight malar bags?

I'm really concerned because I'm losing around 300 to 400 strands of hair every day. It's like, whenever I comb, touch, or wash my hair, I'm shedding so much. Plus, I'm dealing with dandruff and dead skin too, even if I skip washing my hair for just a day. What's going on here? How can I stop this hair fall and maybe even regrow my hair? It's starting to really worry me.

Excessive hair fall and dandruff can be distressing. Identifying the Underlying Cause To address your concerns, it's essential to identify the underlying cause of your hair fall and dandruff. Possible causes include: 1. Genetics: Family history can play a role in hair loss. 2. Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal changes, particularly an excess of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), can contribute to hair loss. 3. Scalp Conditions: Conditions like dandruff, psoriasis, or eczema can cause hair fall. 4. Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, or biotin can contribute to hair loss. 5. Hairstyling and Grooming: Excessive heat styling, tight hairstyles, or rough handling can damage hair and lead to breakage.Additional Tips 1. Reduce Heat Styling: Minimize heat styling tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers. 2. Use Gentle Hair Care Products: Choose shampoos and conditioners that are gentle and sulfate-free. 3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Reduce exposure to chemicals like hair dye, perms, and relaxers. 4. Maintain Good Scalp Hygiene: Wash your scalp regularly to prevent oil buildup and reduce dandruff.

I've got these rashes around my private area that were starting to feel better when I was using candid B powder, but now there's this painful lump that's just popped up recently. I'm worried and trying to figure out what might be causing this and what kind of treatment would help. Any ideas?

The lump around your private area could be a result of a skin infection, possibly an abscess or swollen lymph node. I recommend seeing a doctor for an examination, as they might prescribe antibiotics or drain the lump if necessary. In the meantime, avoid tight clothing and keep the area clean.
