I've got these red burn marks after getting wax hair removal yesterday, and I've attached some photos. Can you suggest ways to heal my skin and prevent scars? Do you think my skin will return to normal?

View allI've been dealing with this really annoying itch on my scalp for over 1520 days now. I've tried dandruff shampoos and even mixed tea tree oil with coconut oil, but nothing seems to help. There's definitely no lice or dandruff, and thankfully, my hair isn't falling out in clumps or anything, just the usual few strands. I'm starting to think this all began after I used a certain type of mehndi on my hair. Could that be the cause? What should I do next?
That could be due to dryness or fungal infection,needs evaluation,visit Dermatologist for the same

Why is the skin on the upper part of my ear turning black with discoloration? I'm not sure if I should see a dermatologist or an ear specialist about this. How can I make that area match my natural skin color?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur after inflammation or injury to the skin. To help clear the discoloration and match it with your actual skin color, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF on the affected area can help prevent further darkening of the skin. You can try using a sunscreen like Sunstop 30 lotion and reapply it every few hours when exposed to sunlight.

I've been using finax 1mg for hair loss for the last 15 days and honestly, my hair loss had already stopped before I started taking it. But now, it seems like my hair loss is worse, so I'm really thinking about quitting the medicine. I'm just concernedare there any side effects if I stop after only 15 days? Any advice would be super helpful.
Finax 1mg, containing finasteride, is a medication primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Why You Might Be Experiencing Increased Hair Loss 1. Initial Shedding: Finasteride can cause an initial shedding of hair, especially during the first few months of treatment. This is a common phenomenon, and hair growth should stabilize over time. 2. Hormonal Adjustments: Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss. However, this hormonal adjustment can sometimes lead to temporary increased hair loss. Stoping Finax 1mg After 15 Days 1. No Significant Side Effects Expected: Since you've only been taking Finax 1mg for 15 days, it's unlikely that you'll experience significant side effects from stopping the medication. 2. Rebound Effect: However, you might experience a rebound effect, where your hair loss returns to its pre-treatment state or even worsens temporarily. 3. Hormonal Readjustment: After stopping finasteride, your hormone levels will readjust, which might lead to temporary changes in hair growth patterns.
