My sister stays in a hostel, and she's caught a really bad case of head lice from the other girls there. We did some Googling and found treatment centers, but they all seem to be for kids. Can she get treated at your clinic? We're really concerned because head lice can seriously affect a person's health, and we've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing's working anymore.

View allI've always had really thick, full hair, but lately, I've been losing a lot of it, and thats never happened to me before. My hairline has receded by about 5cm, and my hair seems to be getting thinner and weaker every day. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?
it sounds like you may be experiencing male pattern baldness. I recommend using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, taking finasteride 1mg tablet once daily can help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It's important to be consistent with these treatments to see results.

I'm 11 and I've had chicken pox, and since then I've noticed some moles on my face that just won't go away. Also, I've been dealing with acne, mostly on my forehead and chin. Could you give me some advice on how to get rid of these moles and what to do about the acne issue?
There is no relation between chicken pox and moles. Acne is a common problem in your age group. Do not pop out your acne as they will leave scars. Avoid using hair oil as this can aggravate your acne on forehead.
