I've been struggling with continuous hair fall for the past four years, and I'm really concerned about what's happening. I even consulted with Dr. Batra for a couple of years and tried professional treatments, but nothing seems to be helping. What could be going wrong? I'm looking for some guidance on what I should do next.

Hair fall can be due to various reasons such as genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions. In your case, since you have already tried treatments without success, I recommend trying minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) twice daily on the scalp. Additionally, you can consider taking finasteride (brand name Propecia) 1mg daily to help with hair regrowth. It is important to use these medications consistently for at least 6 months to see results. Make sure to consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.

I've been noticing some cuts in my skin near my inner thighs, and I think it's because of the dryness from the winter weather. I've already started using a moisturizer to help with the dryness, but I'm really worried about how to actually heal these skin cuts. Could you give me some advice on what else I could do?
