I've noticed that after getting PRP done on October 10th, my hair seems to be falling out more when I brush it, and it's even shedding when I wash it lately. Could this be a reaction to the PRP treatment not working well for me, or is this kind of hair fall normal after the treatment? What can I do to manage this, and how should I take care of my hair right now?

View allI'm a bit confused about when exactly I should be using sunscreen. Do I really need to keep reapplying it all day long, even in the evening or at night? Or is it okay to skip it once the sun goes down?
It is necessary to use it all day long. Should we apply sunscreen even at evening and night time ?? Or no need to apply it after sunset.. Sunscreen should be applied every day, regardless of the time of day. It is recommended to apply sunscreen in the morning before going out and to reapply every 2 hours, especially if you are outdoors. Even in the evening and at night, if you are going to be exposed to artificial light sources such as fluorescent bulbs or screens, it is advisable to continue using sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

I'm trying to figure out how to gradually stop using Melacare cream because I'm experiencing some side effects like dry skin and facial hair growth. I'm also looking for a recommendation on a different fairness cream that won't cause these issues. Can you help me out with this?
To stop using Melacare cream without losing fairness: *Tapering Off Melacare Cream* 1. *Gradual reduction*: Reduce the frequency of application over 2-4 weeks (e.g., from daily to every other day, then to twice a week). 2. *Dilute the cream*: Mix Melacare cream with a moisturizer (1:1 ratio) to reduce its potency. 3. *Replace with a moisturizer*: Once you've tapered off Melacare, switch to a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer. *Alternative Fairness Creams* 1. *Kojic acid-based creams*: Kojivit, Kojic acid cream, or La Roche-Posay Mela-D Pigment Control. 2. *Niacinamide-based creams*: Olay Regenerist, Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair, or Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster. 3. *Vitamin C-based creams*: Olay Vitamin C, Neutrogena Vitamin C, or Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare C+ Collagen Brighten and Firm Serum. *Addressing Side Effects* 1. *Dry skin*: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer. 2. *Facial hair growth*: Consider waxing, threading, or consulting a dermatologist for hair reduction treatments. Consult a dermatologist before starting any new skincare products to ensure they suit your skin type and concerns.
