View allI'm dealing with severe hair fall after recovering from dengue last month, and my dermatologist recommended ADHAIR tablets and KZ lotion. I came across some online reviews suggesting that ADHAIR might have side effects, especially post-marriage. Is this true? What side effects should I be worried about? Can I safely continue using the tablets?

I've been noticing that whenever I sweat, it ends up smelling really bad, almost like urine. It's really weird because it only happens when I'm stressed or feeling scared. Im struggling to give my all at work because of it and I'm really worried. What can I do about this?
bad smell sweat like urine during stress requires a multi-faceted approach. Here's a comprehensive plan: Medical Treatment 1. Antiperspirants: Use antiperspirants containing aluminum salts (e.g., aluminum chloride) to reduce sweat. 2. Antibacterial soaps: Use antibacterial soaps to reduce bacteria that contribute to body odor. 3. Deodorants: Apply deodorants containing fragrances or antimicrobial agents to help mask or reduce odor. Lifestyle Changes 1. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help your body regulate its temperature and sweat more efficiently. 2. Diet: Avoid foods that can make sweat smell worse, such as garlic, onions, or spicy foods. 3. Exercise: Regular exercise can help reduce stress and anxiety, but shower or bathe as soon as possible after exercising. 4. Clothing: Wear breathable, natural-fiber clothing to help keep you cool and dry. 5. Stress management: Engage in stress-reducing activities, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises

I've been dealing with a ringworm infection in my groin area for the past three months. It's been really itchy, and while using terbinafine cream and tablets seems to have helpedit's about 80% healed nowI'm still getting new ringworms in the same spot. The old ones are getting bigger, and my skin in that area has turned a light pink, lighter than the rest of my skin. Could this be tinea versicolor? And how long will it take to completely get rid of it?
Consult a dermatologist to reassess the persistent ringworm infection and skin discoloration, as it may not be tinea versicolor, and adjust treatment with oral antifungals or topical creams to achieve complete recovery, which may take 2-6 weeks.
