Question 1

I'm going through some serious hair loss since I had dengue back in March. It's been really tough, especially since I'm a med student myself. My doc initially suggested minoxidil, but after checking it out online, I stopped using it after about 10 days. My hair fall seemed to get worse, so I went back, and now I'm on Percos hair serum. I'm really anxious and curious if Percos has any side effects and if it's okay to stop using it at some point. Also, I've heard about cysteine treatment at Lakme, and I wonder if I can try that alongside my current treatment. I'm using Revilus shampoo and taking Actilife and Antoxid. Any advice?

For the pigmented scar on your forehead, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the pigmentation. Additionally, you may benefit from laser therapy such as PicoSure or Fraxel to further improve the appearance of the scar. In some cases, a dermatologist may recommend a chemical peel to help reduce the pigmentation. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your specific scar.
