Question

I'm a 21-year-old girl and last November and December, I suffered from typhoid. Since I started recovering fully in January, Ive noticed that my hair is falling out a lot. I used to have long, thick hair, but now its really thinning, and I can even see bald spots. I'm worried and I really dont want to shave my head. How long can I expect it to take for my hair to grow back to normal, and is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Will not shaving be a problem?

Question

I've been struggling with ringworm for a year nowit just keeps coming and going. Every time I start on my medicines, it seems to get better, but when I stop, it just comes back after a few days. I'm taking ityza 100 mg twice daily and there's another one for allergy I take once a day. Plus, I'm using terbinafine cream. I'm worried and wondering why this keeps happening and what else I might be able to do to get rid of it for good. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question

Hey, I've been dealing with some really annoying itching. It goes away when I take Avil, but after a few days, it's back. What do you think could be causing this cycle? Should I be concerned about something more serious?

Question

I've been using minoxidil and procapil for my hair loss, but my hair's been really dry lately, and I'm worried it might be making the hair loss worse. Is it okay if I use hair oil along with these treatments? Could the dryness be contributing to the hair issue?
