I'm a 23-year-old girl, and I've been on mDR TB medication for the past 10 months. I've lost about 90% of my hair, and I'm really worried. Will my hair grow back after I'm done with the medication? Can I regain my hair? I'm feeling really depressed about this.

yes hair loss can be due to drugs. MDR TB drugs can be a cause of it. and tuberculosis disease can also be a cause of hair loss. you can take supplement for the hair. generally they regrow. consult your dermatologist for further help.

I've been wearing glasses for 15 years and now have deep marks on my nose along with dark circles. Would surgery help fix the dark circles and nose indents or are there other options I should consider first?

While surgery can address nose indentations from glasses and some types of dark circles, it's not always the first or best option. Consider non-surgical treatments for the nose, and a range of options for dark circles before jumping to surgery.

I'm really worried about my momshe's got these white patches on her hands, feet, and even a few on her face. I've heard about clovate 0.5mg cream and just wondering if that's a good option for her. If not, could you recommend other treatments that might help?

Psorolin B ointment is advised for local application, also take tab allegra 120 mg orally for 2 weeks, if any side-effects dermatologist opinion is advised to the patient.
