I accidentally burned my middle finger with hot oil about a week ago. I've been taking cefpodoxime 200mg twice daily, using megaheal cream for the dressing, and taking diclo p tablets for the pain. But it still hurts when I'm changing the dressing. Is there anything else I can do to help it heal faster?

I've been having some hair loss issues even after taking Adgain capsules about 6 months ago, which my doctor recommended. Is it okay if I start taking them again, or is there something else I should try first? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any advice.

Adgain capsule is a combination of Biotin, Amino Acids, Minerals, and Vitamins, which is commonly used to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. It is safe to take Adgain capsule again for hair loss. The usual dosage is 1 capsule daily after meals for at least 3-6 months for best results.

I've noticed a big rash on the side of my neck, and I'm worried it might be caused by lizard urine getting on my skin. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could this really be the cause, and what should I do to treat it?

If you suspect a skin rash is caused by lizard urine, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water, then apply an antiseptic cream and a topical steroid cream to reduce inflammation; take an oral antihistamine to alleviate itching and seek medical attention if the rash worsens, spreads, or is accompanied by fever, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

I've been having some issues since taking a tablet for my kidney stones. My scalp has become really itchy, and I've noticed a lot of hair fall. Plus, I have adenomyosis, so I'm a bit worried about all these symptoms happening at once. Could they be related, or should I be looking at something else as the cause?

Hair fall and itchy scalp can be side effects of certain medications. In your case, it could be due to the tablet you took for kidney stones. I recommend using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide for your itchy scalp. For hair fall, you can try minoxidil solution on your scalp. As for adenomyosis, you may benefit from taking hormonal medications such as birth control pills or a progesterone-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) to help manage the symptoms.
