I got bitten by a little leech a few weeks back and it bled for a short while, but then it stopped. Now I've got this small red bump there, and it's quite itchy. Any idea what I can do to fix this?

View allI'm really struggling with this folliculitis problem on my scalp that's been going on for almost 4 years. It all started with these mild bumps, and I've been through so many dermatologists and tried all kinds of antibiotics. They work, but only as long as I'm taking them. The moment I stop, the blisters and pus come back in just a few weeks. Recently, I tried multivitamin injections to boost my immune system and it helped for a couple of months, but now the blisters are back and they're super painful. I even had a pus culture test done, but it came back negative for bacteria. I'm honestly at a loss on what to do now since the doctors say they've tried everything. Any advice on what steps to take next would be really helpful. I'm open to more tests if needed.
Since you have already tried different antibiotics and Betadine AD shampoo without long-term success, and the pus culture came back negative for bacterial growth, it may be worth considering other treatment options. One possible approach could be to try a combination therapy of oral antibiotics along with a topical antibiotic ointment.

I've got this boil on my chin and the area around it is swollen and really painful. I took Combliflom, which helps with the pain, but not with the boil itself. What should I do to actually treat the boil?

I'm really worried because I'm experiencing significant hair fall and dandruff, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've also noticed that some strands have turned white. I've heard about Livon hair tonic being helpful, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the right choice. Could you please guide me on how to stop the hair fall and possibly regrow my hair?
