Question

I've been really worried because I had dengue fever about two months ago, and for the past 20 days or so, Ive been experiencing really intense hair fall. Its like, when I wash my hair, I can't even count the number of hairs that fallmaybe around 300? And even when I gently touch my head, it seems like hundreds of hairs come out. Is this normal after having dengue? Do you think my hair will grow back on its own, or should I be thinking about getting some treatment? What's your take on this?

Question

I'm really struggling with lichen planus on my legs for the past 5 years and it's been a tough journey. I've tried homeocare for over 4 years, but it hasn't helped much and I'm getting really frustrated. Can you suggest any better treatments available in Hyderabad? I'm looking for something that could actually make a difference.

Question

I've got this thin light black-brown line right in the middle of my left thumb, and I dont feel any pain or itching from it. I cant recall injuring my thumb, though. I talked to a doctor, but not a Dermatologist. He guessed it was some fungal infection, so I took medicine for a week. The line hasnt disappeared or gotten darker, but the doctor said it looked slightly lighter and told me not to worry about it. It doesnt appear on any other fingers on my hands or feet. Should I be concerned about this line? Should I get a second opinion, maybe from a Dermatologist? Is it something that needs urgent attention?
