I recently visited a doctor because I've been struggling with dandruff and hair fall. She recommended I use Beprogel on the affected spots, but my dandruff seems to be all over my scalp. Is it okay to apply Beprogel to my entire head?

I'm dealing with severe hair fall after recovering from dengue last month, and my dermatologist recommended ADHAIR tablets and KZ lotion. I came across some online reviews suggesting that ADHAIR might have side effects, especially post-marriage. Is this true? What side effects should I be worried about? Can I safely continue using the tablets?

No there are no such serious side effects you can take it,follow your doctors advice

I've had this sore for about three months now and it's not healing. It started as just a pimple between my butt cheeks, close to the anus, and now it won't dry up. Every time I take a bath or go to the bathroom, it just seems to stay unhealed. I've tried using a band-aid, but it's hard to apply in that area, and I've been putting neosporin gel and powder on it, but it hasn't improved. It's not a big wound, just about a 3mm radius, but it's really bothering me. Do you have any advice on what I can do to finally heal it?

Could be a pilonidal sinus which needs to be evaluated. consult general surgeon
