It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing to help with the healing process.

I'm 25 and have been dealing with heavy hair fall recently. It's getting to the point where the front upper center of my scalp is pretty visible and it's making me really worried. My hair is thinning, feels weak, and the density is just so low now. What can I do to stop this hair fall quickly? What steps should I consider taking to address this?

For superficial hypertrophic scars, you can try using Contractubex gel. Apply a thin layer of Contractubex gel on the affected area 2-3 times a day for at least 3 months for optimal results. Make sure to gently massage the gel into the scar. Additionally, you can also consider silicone gel sheets which have been shown to be effective in reducing hypertrophic scars.
