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.

I've been dealing with post-acne pigmentation on my cheeks, forehead, and chin, and my doctor recommended using Glambak gel. It's been about a month now, and I've noticed some reduction in dark spots and an improvement in my skin tone, which is great. But I'm a bit worried about whether I should keep using the cream long-term to maintain even skin tone. Will my skin tone go darker if I stop using it? I do use sunscreen regularly, but I'm just a bit confused about what the best approach might be. Can you help me figure this out?

I've recently noticed some changes around the head of my penis. Last month, I had a shiny rash that went away on its own, but the head stayed red. There are also these pink papules on the penis ring, and my foreskin has been really sticky with some white stuff inside. I wash with soap every day, but now the skin on the head has become erosive and starts peeling. Im also using coconut oil, but now even the tip is peeling. What's strange is that it doesn't itch or hurt, and theres no sore or lesion. What could be going on?
Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you experienced a self-limiting condition, such as: 1. Irritant contact dermatitis (reaction to soap) 2. Balanitis (inflammation of the penis head) 3. Posthitis (inflammation of the foreskin) To promote healing and prevent future occurrences: 1. Discontinue using harsh soaps; switch to gentle, fragrance-free cleansers. 2. Apply coconut oil or a topical emollient to soothe the skin. 3. Avoid excessive washing or rubbing. 4. Consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist for proper evaluation and guidance. In the meantime, maintain good genital hygiene: 1. Clean the area with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser. 2. Pat dry; avoid rubbing. 3. Apply coconut oil or a topical emollient to keep the skin moisturized.
