I've been noticing more than 50 hairs falling out every day, and they often have a white bulb at the root. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it, and is there something I should do to stop it?

its normal to loose 50 to 100 strands in a day if it is bothering you much visit dermatologist for evaluating the cause of hairfall and for appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with this rash on both sides of my neck ever since summer started, and now there's a similar rash showing up in the crease of my right knee. They're kind of these small patches that have a bit of a white appearance. I've tried using hydrocortisone cream on the ones on my neck, but they haven't gone away. They don't really itch, but they look darker now and the texture feels different. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've been dealing with hair loss and went to see a dermatologist who prescribed some medications. I've been using two lotions - URTO and Racine - along with biotin and vitamin tablets for about 12 days now. However, instead of getting better, my hair loss seems to have tripled. Is it possible these medications aren't working for me, or is increased hair loss a normal part of the treatment process?

Increased hair loss in the first few weeks of treatment can be normal, especially with medications like minoxidil. It's part of the transition as your hair follicles shift into a new growth phase. Stick with the treatment for a couple of months, but if you feel uncomfortable or the shedding doesnt stop, definitely reach out to your dermatologist.
