I've got some Biotique Ayurvedic products like hair masks, face packs, and skin polishers that have been unopened for about 4 years. They were manufactured from October 2015 to September 2016, and they say they expire 3 years from the manufacturing date. Is it okay to use them now? I've heard that Ayurvedic products don't really expire. What do you think?

I'm really struggling with alopecia, and it's been about five years now. I've tried so many medicines but haven't seen any improvement. Do you know if there's a specific medical treatment that could actually work for this? I'm feeling pretty worried and would appreciate any advice you have.
Alopecia can be a challenging and frustrating condition. Understanding Alopecia Alopecia is an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss due to the body's immune system attacking the hair follicles. There are different types of alopecia, including alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, and alopecia universalis. Current Treatment Options While there is no cure for alopecia, various treatments can help promote hair growth and manage symptoms. Since you've tried several medications without success, let's explore other options: 1. Minoxidil (Rogaine): A topical solution applied directly to the scalp to stimulate hair growth. 2. Anthralin (Dritho-Scalp): A topical cream or ointment that can help promote hair growth and reduce inflammation. 3. Corticosteroids: Injected into the scalp to reduce inflammation and promote hair growth. 4. Immunotherapy: A treatment that aims to desensitize the immune system to the hair follicles. 5. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): A non-invasive treatment that uses low-level laser or light-emitting diodes to stimulate hair growth. Emerging Treatments Researchers are exploring new treatments for alopecia, including: 1. JAK inhibitors: Oral medications that target the immune system's response to hair follicles. 2. Stem cell therapy: A treatment that uses stem cells to promote hair growth. 3. Gene therapy: A treatment that aims to modify the genes responsible for alopecia. Consult a Specialist It's essential to consult a dermatologist or an alopecia specialist to discuss your treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case. They can help you: 1. Re-evaluate your diagnosis: Confirm the type and severity of your alopecia. 2. Explore new treatment options: Discuss emerging treatments and clinical trials. 3. Develop a personalized treatment plan: Create a tailored plan to address your specific needs and concerns. Remember, it's crucial to work with a healthcare professional to find the most effective treatment approach for your alopecia.

I'm really concerned about my underarm situation. Since I stopped waxing, there's been a little improvement in the darkness, but I'm not sure what to do next. Should I consider chemical peels or laser treatments for the best results? Hydroquinone didn't work for me. I'm just worried because my dermatologist suggested chemical peels but didnt do any tests beforehand. Can peels make the darkness worse?
chemical peeling would definitely work but laser treatment would show better result,follow your doctors advise because treatment modality depends on intensity and area involved for darkness.
