I've been experiencing a lot of hair fall and breakage lately, especially at the point where my new hair growth meets the area that was treated with keratin three months ago. It's really noticeable every time I wash or brush my hair. Do you think I should stick with the Cacau shampoo and conditioner I've been using, or would another hair treatment help stop the hair fall? What would you suggest?

Keratin-treated hair can be prone to breakage, especially where the treated hair meets the new growth.
Shampoo and Conditioner
- Switch to a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo: Consider a shampoo specifically formulated for keratin-treated hair or damaged hair.
- Use a moisturizing conditioner: A deep conditioning treatment can help repair and restore your hair's moisture balance.
Hair Treatments
- Hair mask: Apply a hair mask once or twice a week to provide an intense dose of moisture and nourishment.
- Hair oil: Use a hair oil rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, such as argan oil, coconut oil, or olive oil, to help repair and protect your hair.
- Protein treatment: Consider a protein-based treatment to help repair and strengthen your hair.
Reduce Breakage
- Be gentle when combing: Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to gently comb out your hair, starting from the ends and working your way up.
- Avoid heat styling: Try to minimize heat styling or use a heat protectant spray to help prevent damage.
- Get regular trims: Regular trims can help prevent split ends and breakage.

I've been dealing with this pitryasis rosea thing since last week. The doctor said it might take a few months to clear up and gave me some mild soap and lotion. But now the first rashes are turning brown and feel bumpy and scaly. It's like I can feel them raised on my skin. They look really bad, and it doesn't seem like they're going away anytime soon. Is this normal? What should I expect, and is there anything else I can do?
It is normal for the rash in pityriasis rosea to evolve over time, with the initial rash often becoming darker in color and developing a scaly texture. To help alleviate the symptoms and promote healing, you can consider using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with any itching. Make sure to continue using the prescribed mild soap and lotion as well. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
