I'm a 36-year-old woman currently on antidepressants, and lately, I've been experiencing some pretty severe hair fall. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to take Xtraglo tablets? I know they contain something called methylsulfonylmethane. Is that safe for me to use, considering my current medication? Would love some advice on this.

Yes you can use it,but reason for hair fall needs to be ruled out,visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm experiencing some dryness on the head of my penis. I decided to try using coconut oil to help with the dryness. Is coconut oil a good choice for this, or should I be considering something else?

I'm an 18-year-old and my hair is just so smooth and silky that it keeps falling out, and it's really hard to keep any hairstyle in place because of that. I'm really hoping to find some solutions to make my hair a bit rougher so I can actually style it the way I want. What can I do to get that kind of texture?

Consider using hair products containing ingredients like sea salt, texturizing sprays, or dry shampoo to add volume and texture, or try hairstyles that work with silky hair, such as braids, buns, or ponytails, and for a more permanent solution, consult a Dermatologist
