Yes, there are various scar creams available that can help reduce the appearance of scars, including the one from your wrist surgery. Scar creams like Mederma Advanced Scar Gel, Derma E Scar gel, and silicone-based products can help soften, hydrate, and fade scars over time. Additionally, using a moisturizer and protecting the scar from sun damage are crucial for optimal healing and scar appearance

I'm really worried about my hair falling out a lot lately. It's been happening for a while, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Can you suggest any ways to help stop the hair fall or maybe some treatments that could help me get it under control?

To overcome hair fall problem, you can try using minoxidil solution applied directly on the scalp. Additionally, you can take biotin supplements 10,000 mcg once daily to promote hair growth. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid using harsh chemicals on your hair. Regular scalp massages can also help improve blood circulation to the hair follicles.
