Question

I've been dealing with typhoid and according to my CBC report, my platelets are low. For a few months now, I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss. My doctor suggested taking biotin 5 mg for a month, but it hasn't helped. Could there be something else causing this or any other suggestions you might have?

Question

I've been dealing with a lot of itching and irritation, especially in my private area, and I've found that using prickly heat powder after a shower really helps. I'm wondering if it's safe to use it every day in that sensitive area or if it might cause any issues in the long run. Is this a normal practice, or should I be concerned about any side effects?

Question

I've been using a fair soap with ingredients like Liquorice extract, Aloe Vera, Vitamin C, Apple juice, and Tamarind extract. I'm worried there might be some side effects from it. Can you tell me if using these ingredients on my skin might cause any issues?

Question

I've noticed some white patchesfirst on my chin and then by the side of my headand now those areas have stopped growing hair. It seems a bit like a fungal infection, especially since I had similar white spots around my neck last year. Can you recommend a cream or shampoo that might help? I'm starting to get a bit concerned.
