Question

I've been noticing some white flakes in my ear, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. Could this be an infection? My ears are feeling pretty dry too. What can I do about this?

Question

I'm 27 and dealing with severe male pattern baldness, and now I've got dandruff too. I'm wondering if I can use minoxidil 5% solution even though I have dandruff. I'm thinking of shaving my head and starting with a dandruff shampoo, and then maybe using minoxidil after a couple of weeks. But I'm worried about any severe side effects this solution might have on my body. Is it safe to use?

Question

I've been dealing with severe acidity, heartburn, and gas, but thankfully that's under control now. However, I've also been experiencing a lot of hair fall, along with dandruff and acne, and my skin's been really oily. This doesn't run in my family, so I'm a bit confused. I'm currently taking the adgain hair supplement. Should I keep using it, or is it time to schedule another checkup?

Question

I'm dealing with hair fall for the past three months and it's really worrying me. Are those shampoo-based hair colors, like Indica or Streaks, which you get in Rs 30 sachet packs, safe to use every couple of months? Also, is there any way we can stop hair from greying or falling out using medicines? And if I do decide to color, which brand would be the best pick?
