I'm a 20-year-old guy who's been dealing with alopecia for the past 2 years, and it's been really tough. I've tried all sorts of lotions and medicines, but nothing seems to work. I've given Ayurvedic, natural, and medical treatments a shot, but still no luck. Honestly, it's taking a toll on my mental health, and I'm avoiding social events because of it. Could you suggest the best way to tackle this problem? I would really appreciate your help.

View allCan I use Mediker or other shampoos to treat lice in my hair while I'm breastfeeding my 2-month-old son? I'm a little worried about how it might affect him. Could using such products be harmful to my baby?
It is not recommended to use Mediker or any other lice treatment shampoos while breastfeeding. These products contain chemicals that can be harmful to your baby. Instead, you can use a fine-toothed comb to remove the lice and their eggs manually. Additionally, you can consult with your healthcare provider for safe and effective treatment options that are compatible with breastfeeding.

I've noticed a small lump in my armpit, and it's swollen and hurts a bit when I move my arm. Should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you may have a swollen lymph node in your armpit, which can be caused by various reasons such as infection or inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area for 10-15 minutes a few times a day. If the swelling and pain persist or worsen, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit confused about when exactly I should be using sunscreen. Do I really need to keep reapplying it all day long, even in the evening or at night? Or is it okay to skip it once the sun goes down?
It is necessary to use it all day long. Should we apply sunscreen even at evening and night time ?? Or no need to apply it after sunset.. Sunscreen should be applied every day, regardless of the time of day. It is recommended to apply sunscreen in the morning before going out and to reapply every 2 hours, especially if you are outdoors. Even in the evening and at night, if you are going to be exposed to artificial light sources such as fluorescent bulbs or screens, it is advisable to continue using sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
