Question

My mom tried doing a chemical peel at home because her friends recommended it, and now she's ended up with some serious burns on her skin, leaving dark patches. We're really worried about how to fix this, especially since we can't find any doctors nearby due to the lockdown. Can you tell us what we should do?

Question

I've noticed that a lot of my hair is falling out, especially in the middle of my head where there's now a round patch with only a few hairs left. I'm 42 and really worried about losing more hair and going completely bald. Could you suggest any treatments to help save what's left? I'm based in Mumbai.

Question

I'm using Mintop and noticed sometimes it gets on my other hairs, and I'm worried it might turn them grey. Is that possible? Also, I've started getting grey hairs at just 16. Is there a way to treat them so they can turn black again?

Question

Hey, I'm a bit concerned and curious about using hair removal cream for my private areas. I'm thinking about trying the Veet men's hair removal cream for my testicles and penis. Is it safe to use for these areas? Also, how long does it usually take for the hair to grow back after using this? If there are any other creams specifically for men that you'd recommend for these sensitive areas, and which are easy to find at medical stores, that would be great to know too.
