I'm a 23-year-old girl, and I've been on mDR TB medication for the past 10 months. I've lost about 90% of my hair, and I'm really worried. Will my hair grow back after I'm done with the medication? Can I regain my hair? I'm feeling really depressed about this.
yes hair loss can be due to drugs. MDR TB drugs can be a cause of it. and tuberculosis disease can also be a cause of hair loss. you can take supplement for the hair. generally they regrow. consult your dermatologist for further help.

I've been diagnosed with DPN and my dermatologist said laser surgery is the only option but I'm hesitant about going under the laser. Are there any effective homeopathic treatments that could help reduce these bumps without invasive procedures?
While homeopathy isn't a scientifically established method for treating Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN), some homeopathic practitioners may suggest specific remedies based on individual symptoms and constitution. However, for DPN, surgical methods like cryosurgery, electrocautery, or curettage are generally considered the most effective treatments
