You can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a scar-reducing gel like Contractubex can also help in reducing the appearance of the holes. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the products for best results.

View allI've been dealing with hair fall issues and my hair just isn't growing after a certain point. I'm pretty concerned and I've heard about these capsulesBecadexamin and Keraglo Evafor hair regrowth. Could you help me figure out which one would be better for me? I'm really curious if one is more effective than the other.
For hair re-growth, both Becadexamin and Keraglo Eva are viable options, but Keraglo Eva seems to have a more comprehensive formula, containing biotin, vitamin B12, and other nutrients that promote hair growth and strengthen hair follicles. However, it's essential to consult a doctor before starting any supplements, as they can recommend the best course of treatment for your specific hair concerns.
