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.

I've been taking these medicines: Syntran 200, Codox, Hizet 25 mg, Lorinol 10, and using Tribex cream and Nozal cream. Now I'm breaking out in red rashes all over my body. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

Given the red rashes after taking those medications, consider stopping them immediately and consulting a doctor as soon as possible; in the meantime, apply a cool compress or calamine lotion to soothe the skin, take an oral antihistamine like diphenhydramine to reduce itching and inflammation, and avoid scratching the affected areas to prevent further irritation.
