I had dengue about three months ago, and ever since, I've been losing a lot of hair. It feels like I've lost almost half of it. Can you please advise me on what I can do to stop this hair fall? I'm also really curious about whether my hair will grow back.

I've had this lump on my forehead for a couple of months now, and I think it might need a little incision to get rid of it. Should I be seeing a dermatologist for this, or would a general physician be better? I'm not really sure who to go to, and I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

-It's best to consult a dermatologist for the lump on your forehead, as they specialize in skin-related issues and can determine if it requires removal. If needed, they can guide you on the next steps for treatment.

I'm really worried about my lips being super dry and chapped lately. I've been using lip balm twice a day, but it doesn't seem to help. Could it be because we leave the fan on high speed all night? Any ideas on what might be causing this?

I've been dealing with a hard, painful lump on my hip for a couple of years now. It formed after I got an injection there, and the medicine seems to have just stayed put. It's really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do to make it go away or at least reduce the pain. Any advice on what I could try to help with this?
