For complete and safe removal of a dark brown birthmark on your hand, both laser treatment and cosmetic surgery are viable options. Laser treatment is generally preferred for its non-invasive nature and effectiveness in breaking down pigmentation, while surgery provides a more definitive removal, albeit with the potential for scarring. The best approach for you will depend on the size, location, and type of your birthmark, as well as your personal preferences and comfort level.

Question

I'm a bit worried about my hair situation, specifically on the top and crown area. I've attached a picture for reference. Will using Minoxidil 5% help with this, and also, can it bring back my receding hairline? I'm really looking for some advice here.

Question

I'm 21 and I'm noticing my hairline is receding a lot, like almost half of my hair is missing. I'm thinking about getting a hair transplant, but I'm not sure if it's the right move. Is it really worth it, and what are the upsides and downsides of doing it? Also, do you know of any reputable clinics where I could get a hair transplant done?

Question

I've got this burn on my right hand from spilling hot water a while back. I've been using silverkind ointment as the doctor suggested, but now I'm seeing these red pigments pop up and there's this constant itching. Is this normal, or should I be worried?
