I'm 25 and I've been noticing I'm losing hair around my forehead, and my hair is getting thinner every day. It used to be really thick all over my head. I'm pretty worried about this. Could you suggest what I can do to help with this problem?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing male pattern baldness. I recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of your scalp. Additionally, you can take Finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to help with hair regrowth. These medications can help slow down hair loss and promote hair growth. It is important to use them consistently for at least several months to see results.

I'm really concerned about these dark circles under my eyes. Is it safe to use mometasone cream for them? I heard about something called MMS cream, any idea what brand that is? And, by the way, are there any potential side effects I should worry about?
Avoid using Mometasone cream (brand names: MMS Cream, Elocon, Momate) for dark circles under the eyes, as it can cause side effects like skin thinning, glaucoma, cataract formation, rosacea-like symptoms, and dependence, instead consider alternative eye creams or consult a dermatologist.

I think I might have a staph infection. It's looking kind of purple and there's this big red spot around it, and it's pretty painful. Should I have it checked out?
Staph infections can range from minor skin problems to life-threatening conditions, so it's crucial to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Your healthcare provider may perform a physical exam, take a sample of the infected area, or order imaging tests to confirm the diagnosis. If left untreated, staph infections can lead to serious complications, such as sepsis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when the infection spreads to your bloodstream.
