I'm in Delhi and dealing with a lot of hairfall. I'm pretty sure it's the water here because there's a lot of salt in it, and it just builds up on my scalp like dandruff.

My wife's been having this pain in her left hand veins, and her thumbs have been itching for the past three days. I initially thought it might just go away on its own, but the pain hasn't improved.
