I've been taking CANTHEX tablets for my skin pigmentation as the doctor said my weight gain might be causing this issue. But I stumbled across some info online suggesting that CANTHEX is also used for weight loss. I'm a bit confused and kind of worried does this mean that if I continue taking these tablets, there's a chance I might put on more weight?

No need to worry you can use it as advised by your doctor for pigmentation,there is no such record stating it's potential in weight gain.

I'm noticing that the skin on my fingertips is suddenly getting thicker and kind of dry. Its happening on both my hand and foot fingers. I used to have really soft fingertips before, so I'm a bit concerned about this change. The skin is so thick that I actually have to shape them. I generally have oily skin, so this is quite new for me. What could be causing this?

I've been losing hair from the root, and I notice a black bulb at the end. This has been happening for about 56 months, and Im averaging around 55 hairs falling daily, mostly when I rinse my hair. Sometimes, my scalp feels a bit irritated. This is new for me because I didn't have hair loss issues before, and no one in my family has experienced baldness before 60. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing telogen effluvium, which is a form of temporary hair loss that usually occurs after a stressful event. To help with hair loss and promote hair growth, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% once daily on the scalp. Additionally, taking biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily can also help improve hair health. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid using harsh chemicals on your hair. If the symptoms persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
