I had chicken pox a couple of months back, and now I've noticed my scalp is really dry. Just today, I lost several hairs from the area where the pox marks were. I'm worried if the skin will eventually regenerate hair in that spot. Could this be a long-term issue?

I'm really struggling with some intense dandruff that's all over my hair, and it's gotten so bad you can see the flakes just sitting on my hair, even from a distance. It's also becoming super irritating whenever I try to wash my hair, and now I've noticed I've got lice as well. What can I do to fix this? I'm really worried.

I've been struggling with some hair issues after a bad case of chicken pox back in 2016. About five months post-recovery, my hairline started receding, and my hair seemed to get thinner. By the next year, the temple area receded by an inch and my hair lost strength. I started taking dietary supplements six months ago as per my doctor's advice, and I'm noticing a slight improvement in thickness, but my temple hairline hasn't shown any progress. Can you shed some light on whether my temple hair will eventually grow back, and how long it might take for my hair follicles to recover after chicken pox?

I've been dealing with acne and got advice from a dermatologist to try isotroin 10mg. I think it helped a lot, but now I'm experiencing blurred vision. Is this something that can happen with isotroin, or could it just be a random coincidence?

Blurred vision as a side effect of isotretinoin (Accutane) is rare but possible, as it can cause eye problems like dryness, irritation, or even inflammatory conditions like uveitis; however, it's also possible that the blurred vision is coincidental or related to another underlying condition, so it's essential to consult your dermatologist or an ophthalmologist
