Recently, I got hit on my nose with a mobile phone, and it left a scar after healing. My dermatologist recommended Suderma Scar reduction gel, and I've been using it for two months now, but I haven't noticed any improvements. I'm getting a bit concerned about the scar not fading. Is there something else I should be doing or trying?

I'm noticing these dark spots on my legs after waxing, and it seems like every time I wax, I end up with these pimples. They eventually go away but leave behind stubborn dark spots. I'm really worried and looking for an ointment or some kind of treatment to help with these dark spots on my legs. What can I do about this?

I've been experiencing severe hair loss lately and it's really worrying me. I did all sorts of blood tests and found out I have a vitamin D deficiency. My doctor suggested taking D Rise 60k, but I'm wondering if that's the only thing causing my hair loss. Should I consider seeing a homeopathic or Ayurvedic specialist for this? What else could be causing such drastic hair loss?
