I've got this corn on the bottom of my foot that's causing me quite a bit of pain, especially when I walk. I even tried using corn caps, but they didn't really work. It's getting really frustrating. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?

I moved to Pune about a year and a half ago, and since then I've been dealing with a lot of hair fall. It's pretty bad, like my hair comes out in full strands and in big bunches, especially when I shower. It's really worrying because my hair volume is down to about a third of what it used to be. I'm really stressed about it and was hoping you could help me figure out what might be going on and how to fix it.

Consider consulting a trichologist or dermatologist in Pune to diagnose the underlying cause of your excessive hair fall, which could be related to the city's hard water, climate change, or other environmental factors, and they can recommend personalized treatments, such as medicated shampoos, hair growth serums, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), to help address your hair loss concerns.

I've been using Melacare for about a month to try and lighten some burn scars. They seemed to lighten up a bit, but there's still quite a bit of darkness left. I stopped using the cream a week ago, and now it seems like the marks have gotten darker and more noticeable. I'm just a bit worried about why this is happening and if I should start using the cream again or try something else?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
