View allI've been experiencing rapid hair loss for the past two months. About six months ago, I had dengue and since then, I haven't used any medication for my hair. Also, I'm dealing with pimples on my face. I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Can you suggest anything?
I understand your concern about rapid hair fall and pimples. Hair Fall After Dengue Fever 1. Telogen Effluvium: Dengue fever can cause Telogen Effluvium, a condition where hair enters the resting phase and falls out after a few months. 2. Nutritional Deficiencies: Dengue fever can lead to nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which can contribute to hair loss. 3. Hormonal Imbalance: Dengue fever can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to hair loss. Pimples and Hair Fall Connection 1. Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal fluctuations can contribute to both pimples and hair loss. 2. Stress: Stress can exacerbate both pimples and hair loss. 3. Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, such as zinc, biotin, or vitamin B, can contribute to both pimples and hair loss.

I have a boil on my left thigh and I'm taking doxycycline with cipladine ointment but no pus is coming out. Do I really need to get a small cut from the doctor? I'm nervous about the procedure is there any other way to treat this without surgery?
If boil doesn’t drain with antibiotics, minor incision may be needed—don’t delay if swelling increases.

I'm experiencing a lot of itching between my hips and vagina, and sometimes it gets really intense. But after scratching, it becomes painful. I'm really worried about what might be causing this. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do?
Sounds like you may be experiencing a yeast infection. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 1-2 weeks to help relieve the itching and pain. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing.
