I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood test results that show an IgE level of more than 2000. I've been dealing with eczema for a while now, and it's been quite challenging. Also, my WBC count came back at 12,000. Can you help me understand what these numbers might mean for my health? Is there something specific I should be worried about or focus on addressing?

Based on your IgE levels being more than 2000 and your history of eczema, it indicates a strong allergic response in your body. To help manage your symptoms, you can take antihistamines like Cetirizine 10mg once daily. In addition, for your eczema, you can use a topical corticosteroid like Hydrocortisone cream twice daily on the affected areas

I'm 25 and have been dealing with heavy hair fall recently. It's getting to the point where the front upper center of my scalp is pretty visible and it's making me really worried. My hair is thinning, feels weak, and the density is just so low now. What can I do to stop this hair fall quickly? What steps should I consider taking to address this?

For superficial hypertrophic scars, you can try using Contractubex gel. Apply a thin layer of Contractubex gel on the affected area 2-3 times a day for at least 3 months for optimal results. Make sure to gently massage the gel into the scar. Additionally, you can also consider silicone gel sheets which have been shown to be effective in reducing hypertrophic scars.
