I'm a bit worried about my daughter's alopecia treatment. We're seeing Dr. Aruna Kumari in Bangalore, and she's advised us to apply Myolaxin gel once a day to the affected area. I've looked it up online, and it seems Myolaxin is more for pain relief. Is this the right treatment for her alopecia? It just doesn't seem like what I expected, and I'm really concerned. Can you help?

Myolaxin gel is indeed commonly used for pain relief due to its muscle relaxant properties. In the case of alopecia, it is not a standard treatment. I recommend discussing this with Aruna Kumari to clarify the intended purpose of using Myolaxin gel for alopecia. If needed, she may consider prescribing medications specifically tailored for alopecia treatment such as Minoxidil solution to promote hair growth.

I've been worried about a leech bite I got on a trek back in late September. It was just a small bite on my left leg, but instead of drying up like the ones on my right foot, it seems to be getting bigger and a bit darker. It's been over two months, and I'm not sure if it's turning into an infection because I feel a slight pain when I press on it. I've been using turmeric and coconut oil, but it doesn't seem to help much. Should I be concerned? Is there something else I should do to treat it?
The leech bite on your left leg that has not completely dried out even after two months and is slowly getting bigger and blacker may indeed be infected. The slight pain when you press on it also suggests inflammation. I recommend cleaning the area with antiseptic solution and applying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antibiotic like Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching or picking at the bite. If the infection does not improve or if you develop fever or worsening symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
