My hairline has been receding on the left side since around August. It's only been a few months but I'm worried it might get worse. Are there any treatments or medications that can help regrow hair or at least stop the receding? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible.

Try minoxidil or finasteride (under doctor’s advice) to stop hair loss early—non-surgical treatments work better if started early.

View allI've got some Biotique Ayurvedic products like hair masks, face packs, and skin polishers that have been unopened for about 4 years. They were manufactured from October 2015 to September 2016, and they say they expire 3 years from the manufacturing date. Is it okay to use them now? I've heard that Ayurvedic products don't really expire. What do you think?

I've been using Minoxidil 2 two times a day for the last 3 months and it really helped with my hair fall. I was thrilled to see less hair in my comb and shower, plus I noticed some new growth. But now I'm dealing with unexpected facial hair, like around my forehead, under my eyes, and on the sides of my cheeks. It's making me self-conscious again because it's quite noticeable, especially on my forehead where it's longer. I'm wondering if reducing the dose might help, maybe applying it just once a day? I'm worried though that it might cause the hair loss to return. Is there another way to deal with this side effect? Would love some advice on how to handle this situation.
your features looks like a condition called hirsutism which could be due to androgen imbalance, this might not be due to minoxidil lotion ,u can make the frequency to once daily as your hair fall issue is resolved, visit Dermatologist as soon as possible for further evaluation.

I'm facing a bit of a situation with a wound on my leg that's taking a while to heal, and I could really use some guidance. So my bike skidded about a month and a half ago and I ended up hitting my leg on the footpath. Most of the wound has healed, but there's this small part, about the size of a fingertip, thats still raw. It's been oozing this clear, watery liquidnot yellowwhich I think might be preventing it from healing completely. I saw Dr. Prashanth BN at Vijayshree hospital and have been keeping up with regular dressing and using Augmentin D as an antibiotic and Betadine as an ointment, even tried turmeric powder on it. Pain's gone down, but I'm out of town now and wondering what else I can do to get it to heal fully. Any advice on how to stop this liquid and get the wound completely healed?
