I've got these bald patches on the front part of my head, and my doctor said it's hormonal. They've advised me to use Hair4U 2 daily in the evenings. Now, I'm thinking about trying onion juice before washing my hair, but I'm not sure if it's okay to use both the onion juice and the Hair4U spray together. Can I mix these treatments, or should I be careful about it?

You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Along with this, you can also consider platelet rich plasma therapy for faster results. consult dermatologist

I'm currently using Momate cream on my face to tackle some dark spots, but I'm not sure if it's safe or effective. Could you let me know if this is a good option, or if there's another cream out there that's better for treating dark spots?

Momate cream contains mometasone, a steroid that can help reduce inflammation and itching. However, it may not be the best choice for dark spots. _For Dark Spots, Consider Alternatives_ 1. _Kojic acid cream_: Helps reduce melanin production and fade dark spots. 2. _Hydroquinone cream_: Fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation. 3. _Retinoid cream_: Promotes cell turnover, reducing appearance of dark spots. 4. _Vitamin C cream_: Brightens skin, reduces hyperpigmentation. 5. _Niacinamide cream_: Improves skin hyperpigmentation and brightness.
