I've recently noticed a black spot on my toe after a foot massage. It's under the skin and doesn't go away even after cleaning. I'm a 28-year-old female and just wondering what this spot could be. Could you help me understand if this is something to worry about?

My hair has been falling out for about six years now, and I'm only 29. I began using Tugain 10 solution a year ago, but sometimes I forget to apply it regularly. It's been a whole year, but my hair is still falling out every day. I really want to find a way to stop this hair loss and hopefully grow new hair. What would you suggest I do?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm a 35-year-old guy working as a software engineer with regular hours from 10 AM to 7 PM in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Each summer, I'm dealing with this burning sensation on the top of my right foot, just behind my toes. It's weird because it only happens when I'm trying to sleep, causing me to wake up sometimes in the middle of the night. Any idea what could be causing this or how to get rid of it?

it can be peripheral neuropathy
