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 curious, is aloe vera gel actually good for anal use? I've been dealing with rashes down there, and after applying aloe vera, the problem seems to have improved. Can I use it regularly on my anus? I sometimes get anal chafing and rashes from dryness and was wondering if aloe vera is okay to use for that. Or maybe theres a specific gel or ointment youd recommend for dealing with these kinds of rashes and chafing?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've been using Eukroma cream on my face for a couple of months now even though I don't have any skin pigmentation. It seems to suit me and has really lightened my skin, but I've read some negative reviews about its side effects online. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep using it on my normal skin. Can you give me some advice?
