So, I'm a 32-year-old guy and a couple of days ago, my finger got pinched in a door. It was just a tiny part of the skin, so I didn't pay much attention at the time. But then yesterday, I noticed this black spot on that same part of my finger, like under the skin. Do you think it could be a blood clot or is there something else going on here?

Yes, it is smashed finger and black spot caused by blood clot. It will be absorbed with time.

I've been using serum for around 4 months, and now my hair feels really weak. They fall out even when I just run my hand through them. I think they've lost their strength. I realized I was applying the serum wrong, directly on the scalp before combing. I've stopped using it now, but I'm worried. What can I do to speed up the process of strengthening my hair again?
