I've been really worried because my hair has started falling out a lot again and my crown line is receding. It all kicked off about two years ago, and even though I've been to different doctors, nothing seems to stick. Last year, in August, a doctor in Mumbai prescribed me a bunch of stuff: Capsule hair fix advance 1mg, Finax 1mg tablets, spray Grocapix, lotion Adroanagen, and Foliglo shampoo. After using these for a month, there was improvement, but now the hair fall is back. What should I do next?

According to your history it looks like androgenic alopecia if at all the above medications did work continue them as your Dermatologist advised,and balanced diet with extra protein and adequate sleep will help.

I'm feeling kind of worried. My hands and feet have been getting really warm, almost hot, but the rest of my body temperature seems normal. I don't have a fever or anything like that, but it's just strange that only those areas are feeling warm. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it?

blood tests (for thyroid function, vitamin levels, glucose levels) Nerve conduction studies (to check for neuropathy) Circulatory tests (like an ankle-brachial index test or Doppler ultrasound) Electrolyte levels (to rule out imbalances)

I'm dealing with some pretty stubborn fungal infections and was wondering if using Safi could actually help with that. I've heard mixed things, and now I'm a bit unsure. Can you tell me how effective it is for fungal infections?
