I've been using an IPL hair removal device at home and I started noticing that after a few sessions, two new moles appeared and an existing mole got darker and looked different. So I stopped using it after that. It's been almost a year since then but I'm still worried. Should I be concerned about these changes?

View allIm 23 and I've noticed I have white hair and some bald patches. I'm really hoping to regrow hair in these bald areas and also turn my white hair back to black. Do you think Indulekha hair oil could help with that? I'm pretty concerned about these changes at such a young age. What would you suggest?
Indulekha hair oil may help promote hair growth and reduce dandruff, but its effectiveness in regrowing hair on balding areas and reversing white hair to black is largely anecdotal and not scientifically proven; for noticeable results

I'm a little confused about the instructions my dermatologist gave me for using Candid B lotion on my scalp. He mentioned something about 33 drops twice a day, but I can't remember if I should be applying it morning and night, or at different times. Also, should I be massaging it into my scalp? Would love some guidance on this, as I want to make sure I'm using it correctly.
Candid B lotion contains a combination of antifungals and corticosteroid components. It should be applied once in the morning and once in the night before bed. You should use the pulp of your fingers to gently massage the lotion into your scalp.
