I'm a bit worried because my hair really hurts at the roots. Ive noticed this pain when I pull at the roots, but I dont have any rashes, dandruff, or itching. I also dont tie up my hair. What could be causing this discomfort?

View allmy doctor recommended using watnil for 2 weeks to treat a wart but i'm not sure if it's effective enough or if i should consider laser surgery instead will watnil actually remove the wart completely
Watnil (a salicylic acid and lactic acid solution) is often recommended for wart removal, but its effectiveness varies. While it can remove warts, it's not always guaranteed to remove them completely in just two weeks, and some warts may be more resistant to this treatment. Laser surgery can be more effective, especially for stubborn warts, but it's more invasive and may have side effects.

I've been dealing with these itchy rashes for about four months now, and they're driving me crazy! They feel like there's tiny needles pricking me, and my heart starts racing. They start out small but then get really big, and it's mostly at night. It's all over my body, even on my head, and especially bad on my legs. Sometimes I can't breathe well, and my lips and face swell up, which is really scary. My eyes get puffy too. The rashes leave these brown marks on my skin after the itchiness goes down. I'm really worried because no one seems to know what's going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening?
