View allI've noticed my hair density is thinning, and it's been happening gradually. It's mostly on the top of my head, while the sides and back are still okay. I'm wondering if wearing a helmet to work every day might be part of the problem. Do you think that's possible? Also, what can I do to regain my hair density? Would love some advice on this.
Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

My friend's leg accidentally got burned yesterday when it touched the hot silencer of a scooter. The burn is really painful, and it's turned into a dark brown color with a bubble-like swelling. We're really concerned and wondering what the best steps would be to take care of it. Any advice on how to treat this burn and reduce the pain and swelling?
Immediate Care* 1. *Cool the burn*: Run cool tap water over the burn for 10-15 minutes or apply a cool, wet compress. 2. *Remove clothing and jewelry*: Gently remove any clothing or jewelry near the burned area, as these can stick to the burn and cause further damage. *Wound Care* 1. *Apply topical antibiotic ointment*: Use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin to help prevent infection. 2. *Cover the burn*: Cover the burn with a non-stick, sterile bandage or dressing to protect it from further irritation and infection. *Pain Management* 1. *Over-the-counter pain medication*: Use over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage pain and reduce inflammation. *When to Seek Medical Attention* 1. *Severe burns*: If the burn is severe (covers a large area, is deep, or has penetrated through multiple layers of skin), seek immediate medical attention. 2. *Infection signs*: Monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, pus, or a foul odor. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention. 3. *Difficulty moving*: If your friend is experiencing difficulty moving the affected area or is experiencing numbness or tingling, seek medical attention.
