View allI'm dealing with some serious pain and I got my CBC report back yesterday showing increased TLC or ESR levels. The local doctor mentioned it's causing these boils (funsi foda), but the stuff I got from them isnt helping, and the pain is just too much to handle. Can you please guide me on how to tackle this issue?
The combination of elevated TLC and ESR suggests inflammation or infection, and the pain could be related to that. It's important to continue following up with your healthcare provider and communicate the severity of the pain. If needed, a second opinion from a specialist might be necessary for a more thorough diagnosis and effective treatment plan.

I'm experiencing some peeling and cracking on the skin of my penile head, and I'm not quite sure what's causing it. Could you tell me what the treatment might be for this?
Possible Causes* 1. *Balanitis*: Inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by poor hygiene, allergies, or infections. 2. *Dry skin*: Harsh soaps, excessive washing, or cold weather can cause dryness and cracking. 3. *EczemaDermatitis*: Skin conditions that can cause inflammation, dryness, and cracking. 4. *Psoriasis*: An autoimmune condition that can cause skin cell buildup, leading to scaling and cracking. 5. *Fungal or bacterial infections*: Such as candidiasis or bacterial balanitis. *Treatment Options* 1. *Topical creams*: Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription creams, such as hydrocortisone, can help reduce inflammation and itching. 2. *Antifungal or antibacterial medications*: If an infection is suspected, your doctor may prescribe medication to treat it. 3. *Moisturizers*: Keeping the area moisturized can help alleviate dryness and cracking. 4. *Good hygiene practices*: Gently wash the area with mild soap and lukewarm water.

I've been struggling with continuous hair fall for the past four years, and I'm really concerned about what's happening. I even consulted with Dr. Batra for a couple of years and tried professional treatments, but nothing seems to be helping. What could be going wrong? I'm looking for some guidance on what I should do next.
Hair fall can be due to various reasons such as genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions. In your case, since you have already tried treatments without success, I recommend trying minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) twice daily on the scalp. Additionally, you can consider taking finasteride (brand name Propecia) 1mg daily to help with hair regrowth. It is important to use these medications consistently for at least 6 months to see results. Make sure to consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.
