Question

My sister stays in a hostel, and she's caught a really bad case of head lice from the other girls there. We did some Googling and found treatment centers, but they all seem to be for kids. Can she get treated at your clinic? We're really concerned because head lice can seriously affect a person's health, and we've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing's working anymore.

Question

I've been struggling with Hives for about two years now, and the itching and skin inflammation are just unbearable sometimes. My doctor suggested I take Montek LC, and I usually take a tablet every couple of days when things get really bad. Is there any way to completely get rid of this condition? I'm hoping for a more permanent solution. Can you share any advice or treatments that might help?

Question

I recently found out that the black spots on my scrotum are called angiokeratoma. I'm worried if these could lead to something like Fabry disease? I heard that laser treatment is recommended to remove them, but Im nervous about any future sexual complications this might cause. Also, I've noticed that these spots seem less noticeable during the day and get a bit more visible at night. If I do decide on laser treatment, Im curious if they might come back again. Is there any other way to remove them, like using creams maybe?
