I've been dealing with some hair fall issues and saw a doctor who recommended Kz lotion and Recute hair oil. While the hair fall has reduced, I'm not really seeing any new hair growth. My hair still feels pretty weak. I've heard about using egg masks for hairare they actually good? Also, are there any foods that can help with hair growth? I'm really hoping to get my hair strong and thick. Any suggestions?
Minoxidil is known to stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness. You can apply it to the scalp twice daily. Additionally, you can continue using the Kz lotion and Recute hair oil as prescribed by your doctor. Egg mask can be beneficial for hair as it is rich in proteins and nutrients that can nourish the hair follicles.

I've been experiencing some weird skin rashes along with vomiting lately. There are these small red dots on my hands and under the palms, same with my feet. I've also been feeling nauseous and have headaches off and on. The rashes are super itchy, and on my legs, it even looks like mosquito bites, but I'm sure there are no mosquitoes around. What could this be? Should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction or a viral infection. The skin rashes, vomiting, red dots on hands and feet, nausea, headache, and itchy bumps on legs could be indicative of a condition like hand, foot, and mouth disease. I recommend taking an antihistamine like **Benadryl (diphenhydramine)** for the itching and rash. You can also consider using a topical corticosteroid cream like **Hydrocortisone** to help with the inflammation. For the nausea and vomiting, you can try over-the-counter medications like **Pepto-Bismol** or **Dramamine**. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention.
