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

View allI'm dealing with psoriasis for the past two years, and it just doesn't seem to get better. I've tried different treatments, but nothing seems to work. I'm also losing a lot of hair, and my scalp has red patches. It's even affecting my nails now. Does it ever fully go away, or will I always have to manage it? Should I be watchful about my diet? What precautions should I be taking in my daily life to help manage these symptoms?
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that can be managed with proper treatment. To help control your symptoms, you can use topical treatments such as corticosteroids like Clobetasol (0.05%) cream for the affected skin areas. In severe cases, oral medications like Methotrexate or Acitretin may be prescribed. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and duration of these medications. For scalp psoriasis, you can use medicated shampoos containing coal tar, salicylic acid, or ketoconazole. Brands like T-Gel, T-Sal, or Nizoral can be effective in managing scalp psoriasis. To address hair fall associated with psoriasis, you can try using minoxidil solution like Rogaine to promote hair growth. Additionally, incorporating biotin supplements can also help in improving hair health. In terms of food control, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can help in managing psoriasis symptoms. Avoiding trigger foods like red meat, dairy, and processed foods may also be beneficial. Precautions to take include avoiding skin injuries, managing stress levels, and protecting your skin from extreme weather conditions. Using a moisturizer regularly can also help in preventing flare-ups. It is important to note that psoriasis is a chronic condition that may require long-term management. The duration of treatment varies for each individual, so it is best to follow up with your healthcare provider for personalized care.

I'm dealing with a dry penis and my family doctor mentioned using a lotion or cream that has vitamin E. Can anyone recommend a brand that's effective?
You can try using Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion which contains vitamin E. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for best results.
