I've been noticing these small black scabs on my scalp that just won't go away. They look like thick, rough patches of dead skin, but the rest of my scalp seems clean and dandruff-free. What's going on here? Could this be something serious?

View allI've recently stopped using Medisalic, which I'd been using for a couple of years due to a skin allergy. I'm looking for some cream and face wash options that won't have side effects and can help keep my skin healthy and glowing. Can you suggest anything?

I was in the hospital for pneumonia treatment back in September, and now I've been losing a lot of hair from all over my scalp since last month. What could be causing this? Is there a chance my hair will grow back, or am I going to go bald? What kind of treatment should I be looking into?
The significant hair loss you're experiencing, known as telogen effluvium, could be triggered by the physical stress of pneumonia, high fever, or medications used during treatment, and in most cases, hair growth resumes on its own within 3-6 months without treatment
