I've been noticing some really deep holes all over my cheeks, and my face seems to be getting darker every day. It's starting to stress me out. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing severe acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. For the deep holes on your cheeks, you may benefit from using a topical retinoid like Retin-A (tretinoin) cream at night to help improve skin texture and promote collagen production. Additionally, for the hyperpigmentation, you can consider using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite (hydroquinone 4%), to help even out your skin tone. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further damage.

I've been dealing with these recurring pus-filled boils on my thighs and upper leg area. There's always this redness and swelling around them, and they keep coming back. It's getting really frustrating and I just want to know what's causing them and how I can prevent them. Any advice?
Recurring pus filled boils on the thighs and upper leg area with redness and swelling indicate a skin infection. This may be due to a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. To treat this condition, you can use an antibiotic ointment containing Mupirocin applied to the affected area three times a day. In addition, an oral antibiotic like Cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days can also be prescribed to help clear the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further irritation.

I'm a bit concerned about my hair fall situation. I've completed three PRP sessions over the past three months, with each session spaced a month apart. After the second session, I saw some improvement in hair fall, but it only lasted for about a week. Since then, it's back to the usual amount of hair falling. Is this normal, or is there something else I should be doing? I've been advised to use minoxidil 5, but I have to admit, I'm not very consistent with itmaybe around three to four times a week. Should I be looking into any vitamin deficiencies or consider trying some home remedies or self-care routines?
Yes consume protiene rich diet and maintain healthy sleep cycle that will help and also follow your doctors advice
