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 experiencing some serious issues with my skin whenever I eat chicken, oily foods, milk products, and sweets. Lately, it's been getting worse, and I'm dealing with really large boils, often multiple at a time that are filled with pus. I used to take Minoz OD tablets before because a dermatologist recommended them, but I'm hoping to find something more affordable. Can you suggest any cheaper medicines that might help?
