I've been having terrible hair fall ever since I had dengue fever. It's really worrying me, and I don't know what to do to make it stop quickly. Could you please guide me on how to deal with this?

To help stop hair fall, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin tablets 10mg once daily can also help in promoting hair growth. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive stress.

I'm 21 and my hair's been getting really thin lately. It's to the point where, if I put oil on, it looks kinda like I'm balding, but without oil, it seems more or less normal. My family's hair history doesn't include baldness, so I'm confused. Could it be a lack of protein, moisture, or is DHT the culprit here? I really want to get my hair thick again. Also, I was wearing a helmet a lot recently, and I think that made my hair dry and rough, turning it somewhat brown. I tried oiling it, and it's a bit silkier now, but still thin. Why is this happening, and how can I make my hair thick again?

I'm really frustrated because I've been using Cutiyt Total cream for over a year to help with skin lightening and addressing dark spots and neck darkness, but I'm not seeing any results. I've had all the tests donethyroid, sugar, BP, vitamin levelsand everything's normal. Could you suggest any other cream that might work for me?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I started losing my hair after having COVID and it seemed to settle for a bit, but now its back and even worse. My doctor told me to use 1 ml of minoxidil twice a day and also suggested using 1 ml of a racine pro hair serum, which also contains minoxidil, once a day. I'm a bit worrieddoes using these together make sense? Is it safe to have the extra minoxidil from the serum too?
