I've been dealing with serious hair fall and it's really stressing me out. My hair tends to be really fizzy, so I decided to try a rebonding treatment a few months back. At first, everything seemed fine for about four months, but now I'm losing around 50-60 hairs a day, and it's starting to freak me out. Could you please help me understand what's happening and what I should do?

There are many reasons for Hair fall, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment, consume balanced diet and adequate rest would help.

I'm really worried because my daughter accidentally spilled hot tea on her chest, and now she has about three spots, each around an inch, that got burned. After treatment, her chest is okay now, but the skin color where it burned is different from her normal skin. What can I do to help the color of the burned skin blend back in with her regular skin tone?

Aquaphor healing ointment is advised for local application for 1 week once daily , any side-effects dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
