I've noticed that a lot of my hair is falling out, especially in the middle of my head where there's now a round patch with only a few hairs left. I'm 42 and really worried about losing more hair and going completely bald. Could you suggest any treatments to help save what's left? I'm based in Mumbai.

I'm really worried about why my skin stays dirty even after washing it well. It's like I have to almost scrape with something sharp just to get the dirt off. After a bath, it seems to get dirty super fast again. I've even tried washing my face around 45 times a day, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. It's strange because even just after washing, if I rub my hands on my face, I still end up with some dust. What could be going on here?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a buildup of dead skin cells and dirt on your skin. This could be due to a variety of factors such as excessive oil production, environmental factors, or improper skincare routine. I recommend using a gentle exfoliating cleanser to help remove the dead skin cells and dirt more effectively. You can try using a face wash containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, twice a day. Additionally, using a gentle scrub, such as St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub, 2-3 times a week can also help improve the texture of your skin. Make sure to moisturize your skin afterwards to prevent it from becoming too dry. If the issue persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been waxing my face and ended up taking off some skin on both of my cheeks. I've been applying aloe vera gel to help it heal, but it's actually getting worse. What else can I do to fix this?

I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas on your cheeks twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at it to prevent infection.
