I was in the hospital for pneumonia treatment back in September, and now I've been losing a lot of hair from all over my scalp since last month. What could be causing this? Is there a chance my hair will grow back, or am I going to go bald? What kind of treatment should I be looking into?

The significant hair loss you're experiencing, known as telogen effluvium, could be triggered by the physical stress of pneumonia, high fever, or medications used during treatment, and in most cases, hair growth resumes on its own within 3-6 months without treatment

View allI've been using this Dr. James Glutathione skin whitening cream for a couple of years, and it really made my skin fair and white. But now my skin has become super sensitive. Every time I go outside in the morning, my face goes all red and feels like it's burning. Since I stopped using that cream, my skins gotten darker. It's weird because my ears and neck are still white, but only my face is darker, and the difference is really noticeable. What should I do about this? Is there a way to fix it? I'm not worried about the cost, so should I look into skin whitening laser treatments or maybe carbon peeling or stem cells? Do you think normal medicines could help, or should I go for one of these high-end procedures? I'm really curious and a bit worried.

My wife has a scar on her left eyebrow that sometimes causes sharp, injection-like pain and a small wound underneath. A doctor suggested using Tbact Ointment, but we're wondering if there are other treatments to reduce the scar without plastic surgery. What options are available for scar reduction that don't involve surgery?
Scar-related pain near the eyebrow can be treated with ointments like Mederma or silicone gel sheets; plastic surgery isn't always required unless cosmetic correction is desired.

Hey, I'm a bit concerned and curious about using hair removal cream for my private areas. I'm thinking about trying the Veet men's hair removal cream for my testicles and penis. Is it safe to use for these areas? Also, how long does it usually take for the hair to grow back after using this? If there are any other creams specifically for men that you'd recommend for these sensitive areas, and which are easy to find at medical stores, that would be great to know too.
Yes you can use it ,and regrowth might take approximately 1 week
