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'm currently on acutret tablets for my pimples and I've been following my doctor's advice by not using any other creams except what he prescribed. I had an office event and used a foundation just for that day, and now I'm noticing more pimples. I'm getting nervous because my wedding is in December. Could using that other cream just once really cause this increase in pimples? Can you help me understand what's happening?

Applying foundation cream while using Acutret tablets may have clogged pores, triggered hormonal fluctuations, or irritated your skin, leading to increased pimples; however, it's essential to consult your doctor or dermatologist to determine the exact cause and adjust your skincare routine to ensure your skin clears up before your wedding in December.
