Lichen Planus ne pagal kar diya! Koi asli dermatologist ya raat ki itching ka nuskha batao Delhi mein?

Yaar, I'm just done. My dermatologist is a nice guy but honestly I feel like he's also frustrated with my case now. Last visit he just said "stress kam karo" and gave the same old steroid cream. Like bro, I know stress is bad but how do I control it? My office is chaos, wife is worried, and raat ko itching se neend nahi aati. I tried applying aloe vera gel directly from the plant last week—my mother-in-law insisted. Felt cooling for 5 minutes then back to same burning. Also tried that Ayurvedic oil from local vaidya but it smells so strong my wife complained whole night. Family thing: My 8-year-old daughter saw me scratching my legs yesterday and asked "Papa, aapko kya hua?" I didn't know what to say. She looked scared. That broke me inside. Question for you all: Koi aisa dermatologist hai Delhi mein jo lichen planus ko seriously le? Ya koi gharelu nuskha jo actually kaam karta hai raat ki itching ke liye? Main kuch bhi try karne ko taiyar hoon. Please help.

Intermittent fasting se baal jhad rahe? 30 ki umar mein 50 jaisi ho gayi!

Aaj subah jab brush kiya toh haath mein baal ka guchha dekh ke ruk gaya. Seriously, I'm only 30 but lagta hai 50 ki ho gayi hoon. 6 months pehle maine intermittent fasting start kiya tha - 16:8, fir 18:6 bhi try kiya. Weight toh kuch nahi hua but hair fall bohot zyada ho gaya. Pehle toh maine socha stress hai, but phir pata chala ki fasting se nutrition deficiency ho sakti hai. Mummy roz bolti hain, "Beta itna diet karke kya karogi? Baal toh jhad rahe hain." Aur sahi keh rahi hain. Ab maine koi bhi diet nahi kiya, but weight bhi nahi gaya. Metabolism kharab ho chuka hai. Kal hi dermatologist ke paas gaya - vitamins check karwaye. Iron aur Vitamin D kam hai. Koi batao, kya intermittent fasting se hair fall hua hai kisi ko? Aur agar main ab normal khaana shuru kar doon toh kya yeh rukega? Ya fir koi specific supplements loon? Fed up ho gayi hoon apne aap se. Help karo yaar.

Onion juice se baal aate hain ya sirf roommate ko jalane ka formula hai? 😂 3 hafte ka sach!

bhai ek doubt hai. onion juice lagane se sach me hair growth hoti hai ya bas internet ka jhooth hai? Maine 3 hafte pehle try kiya tha - onion ko grate karke juice nikal ke scalp pe lagaya. Par honestly, bas baal thode shiny lage, aur gandhi smell itni ki roommate ne puchha "kya jal raha hai". 😅 Actually maine YouTube pe dekha tha ek dermatologist ne bola ki onion juice me sulfur hai jo hair health ke liye accha hai. Lekin meri friend (who is a med student) bolti hai ki ye sab pseudo science hai, real results minoxidil se hi aate hain. Main khud minoxidil use kar raha hoon par side effects ka dar hai - itna anxiety ho jata hai. Aur suna hai agar chhoda toh aur jyada hair fall hota hai. Toh socha onion juice natural hai toh safe hoga. But kya sach me kisi ko results aaye hain? Ya ye bas placebo effect hai? Aur haan, agar koi genuine tip ho toh bata do. Mere friends ne toh "takle" bol bol ke mera confidence khatam kar diya hai. Hair transplant afford nahi kar sakta abhi. Koi cheap and effective solution do yaar. 🙏
