Is there any real medical evidence that using onion juice can help with hair growth? If so, how should I apply it and in what form? I've been losing hair, particularly from the crown and have a receding hairline. I tried minoxidil and multivitamins, but they haven't really worked. What else can I do?

There is some evidence to suggest that onion juice may help enhance hair growth due to its sulfur content which may improve blood circulation to the hair follicles. You can apply onion juice directly to your scalp, leave it on for about 30 minutes, and then wash it off with a mild shampoo. You can do this 1-2 times a week. However, please note that individual results may vary and it may take some time to see any noticeable effects. You can also consider using a hair growth shampoo containing minoxidil.

I've been dealing with some raised bumps near my vagina and on my butt cheeks. At first, they were in a smaller ring with low-raised acnes, but it's been a week, and now they've grown into bigger, more pronounced areas with the circle spreading. Touching them causes a burning sensation, even though they seem to be drying out. Plus, I'm noticing more vaginal discharge than usual, though it's clear. I'm not sure whats going on, but I'm pretty worried. Any ideas on what this could be?
