I've been struggling with some hair issues after a bad case of chicken pox back in 2016. About five months post-recovery, my hairline started receding, and my hair seemed to get thinner. By the next year, the temple area receded by an inch and my hair lost strength. I started taking dietary supplements six months ago as per my doctor's advice, and I'm noticing a slight improvement in thickness, but my temple hairline hasn't shown any progress. Can you shed some light on whether my temple hair will eventually grow back, and how long it might take for my hair follicles to recover after chicken pox?

I'm curious about the cost of getting a Q-switch laser treatment for naturally dark lips due to genetics. Also, how long do the effects typically last after the procedure?

Depending on the extent of treatment required, it costs between 7k - 15k INR. The number of sessions required varies from patient to patient. The effects generally last a few years, but maintenance sessions may be required to sustain the results.

I've been experiencing this sharp pain right at the tip of my penis for about three days now, and it's really concerning me. Does this sound like something serious, or could it be something that will go away on its own? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice on what might be causing this pain.

-It sounds like you may have a localized issue, possibly an irritation or infection. I'd recommend seeing a doctor for a proper exam to rule out any serious conditions and to get appropriate treatment. In the meantime, avoid any harsh soaps or irritants.
