I've had these bald patches over my left and right ear for about four years now, and they're really bothering me. They're oval and completely bald, and nothing I've tried so far has made them go away. I haven't done anything about it for the past two years, but it seems like the bald patches are slowly getting bigger. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or how I can treat it?

I'm noticing cholesterol deposits around my eyes, and I'm a bit worried. There are these small, puffy white spots on my eyelids and some longer, flat ones under my eyes. I'm 36 years old, female, and my cholesterol levels are actually normal. I don't have issues with hypertension or diabetes either. Is there any natural way I can get rid of these and prevent them from getting worse? Id really appreciate any advice you can give.

I've had alopecia universalis for a year and my doctor prescribed decdan 0.5 to take every weekend 5 on Sunday and 5 on Saturday. But I'm getting ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery on my knee next week. Should I keep taking the medicine or stop it before the surgery? I'm a bit worried about how it might affect the procedure or recovery.

Dont continue it, have u informed ur doc regarding this,
