My friend is experiencing a lot of hair fall and seems to be going bald. I'm really curious and a bit worried. Is there a way to actually regrow hair on a bald head?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While it may be challenging to grow hair on a completely bald head, there are some treatment options available that may help stimulate hair growth. One common medication used for male pattern baldness is Minoxidil, which is available in brands like Rogaine. It is typically applied to the scalp twice daily in a 5% solution for men. Another option is Finasteride, which is available in brands like Propecia. It is taken orally in a 1mg dose once daily. These medications may help slow down hair loss and promote some degree of hair regrowth in certain individuals. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your friend's specific situation.

View allI've been struggling with acne marks on my face, and once they heal, the scabs leave behind fresh pink skin that doesn't blend in well with the rest of my face. It takes forever for these spots to lighten up or become less noticeable. This whole situation has really hit my confidence hard. I feel embarrassed to go out and often end up avoiding social gatherings because of it. I'm basically drained emotionally by all this. Is there anything I can do to help make these marks fade faster or blend better?

I'm currently taking isotretinoin 20 mg and I'm looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to the Ahaglow S face wash and Acne OC moisturizer. My skin is acne-prone and I'm hoping to find something affordable that still works well. Do you have any suggestions?
you can try using Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser. It is gentle on the skin and helps in controlling excess oil production. As for a substitute for Acne OC moisturizer, you can consider using Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel. It is suitable for acne-prone skin and provides the necessary hydration without clogging pores. Since you are currently using isotretinoin 20 mg, it is important to choose products that are gentle on the skin to avoid any irritation.

I'm having this issue with my skin where the sides of my nose get flaky after I shower. They've also started turning dark and itchy. I've been using Pears soap for a long time, like over a year, and I'm not sure if that's causing it. I went to the doctor before, and they gave me a hyperpigmentation cream, but it hasn't really helped. What do you think could be causing this, or what should I try next?
