Lemon is usually used in hair oils and shampoos. But directly applying it may irritate the scalp skin. Do a patch test before applying it.

I have a hereditary hair thinning problem where the spacing between my hair has increased and I've lost hair from my forehead. Can this be fixed with medicine or will I need surgery?

Hereditary hair thinning, including a receding hairline and increased spacing between hairs, can be addressed with both medications and, in some cases, surgery. Medications like minoxidil and finasteride can help slow down hair loss and may stimulate regrowth, while hair transplantation offers a more permanent solution by moving hair follicles from resistant areas to the thinning scalp.

I'm dealing with some skin issues and have a noticeable black spot on my face. I'm considering using Melacare cream and Sunstop 30 cream. Do you think these products would be effective for this kind of problem, or is there something else you would recommend? I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects too.
