Question

I'm a bit confused about my test results. I tested negative for VDRL and RPR, but my TPHA came back positive at 1160. What does this mean for me in terms of timing or stage of syphilis? I've already taken a 2g dose of Azithromycin. Should I be concerned about needing Penicillin or Doxycycline too?

Question

I've had a broad forehead since I was born, and I've been using minoxidil to try and grow some hair there. I've started noticing a few small hairs beginning to grow. Do you think they'll get longer? Also, how many months should I continue using minoxidil before I can expect to see more results?

Question

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?

Question

I'm 21 and having some trouble with a tight frenulum. I can't pull it back completely, and it's painful during intercourse. I'm considering removing it myself at home. Could you share some safe ways to do this?
