I'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.

View allI've been dealing with scalp folliculitis for a while now. My dermatologist said it's from a bacterial infection that can spread from the nose to the scalp. These bumps are oval and white. When I'm on medication and use cream, the folliculitis goes away after about a week. But as soon as I stop taking them, the bumps come back all over my scalp. Is there anything I can do to manage this without relying on medication all the time? I'm worried about becoming dependent on it. Any alternative remedies or methods I could try?
Sounds like you are experiencing recurrent scalp folliculitis despite completing a course of medication. In cases of persistent or recurrent folliculitis, your dermatologist may consider prescribing oral antibiotics such as Doxycycline along with a topical antibiotic cream like Mupirocin 2%. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor to fully eradicate the bacterial infection. Wash your hair regularly with a gentle shampoo to keep the scalp clean. Avoid using oily hair products or hair styling products that can clog the hair follicles. Use a clean towel and avoid sharing combs or hair accessories to prevent the spread of bacteria. Avoid picking or scratching the bumps to prevent further irritation and infection. If the folliculitis continues to recur despite these measures, it is important to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned after using Faiza cream for about 3 months. It cleared up all my pimples and black marks, and my skin got so fair. But now I've read online about possible side effects, like skin cancer. I'm really worried and thinking about stopping the cream. If I do, will there be any side effects or problems? Can you give me some advice on what to do?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
