I'm currently being treated for tuberculosis and have been on medication for about two months. Initially, I was on Akurit 4 for around 1.5 months, but it gave me really bad joint pain, so my doctor switched me to AKT 3. Lately, I've been facing significant hair fall, and I'm worried I might lose all my hair soon. I've also noticed some white strands popping up. Could you please advise on what I can do about this situation?

I've been dealing with this severe itching problem around my anal area for a while now. I remember using quadriderm RF cream for a couple of days before, and it used to clear up. But lately, even after applying it, the itching won't go away. I've noticed these dark black skin lines all over the anal area too. Could you recommend any good medications or treatments to help me out with this? I'm really worried and would appreciate some advice.

my 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.
