I'm a bit concerned about a spider bite I have. It has a white dry center and there's a purple bruise around it. Do you think I should get it checked out by a doctor?

I've got these bald patches on the front part of my head, and my doctor said it's hormonal. They've advised me to use Hair4U 2 daily in the evenings. Now, I'm thinking about trying onion juice before washing my hair, but I'm not sure if it's okay to use both the onion juice and the Hair4U spray together. Can I mix these treatments, or should I be careful about it?
You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Along with this, you can also consider platelet rich plasma therapy for faster results. consult dermatologist

I'm really worried because I donated blood on Monday morning, and the next day I woke up with terrible itching and red spots and bumps, mostly on my thighs but some in other areas too. I took an Avil tablet in the morning, and it helped a bit, but by night, the itchiness came back. It's unbearable. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and how I can make it stop?
The itching and rash you're experiencing after donating blood could be an allergic reaction to the anticoagulant or other substances used in the blood collection process; continue taking Avil (antihistamine) as directed, apply topical calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to affected areas
