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 skin issue for a couple of years now. It first showed up at the Thai and now there's this constant khujli affecting my entire body. A year ago, it seemed like things were finally getting better, almost like I was in the clear for good. But recently, it's come back with a vengeance and feels worse than ever. What kind of medicine should I be looking into? Are there specific things I should be doing or avoiding to help with this?

Hey, so I've noticed a weird lump on my buttocks that popped up last month. At first, I thought it was just a heat boil, so I used a pain relief patch and eventually thought it healed. But now it's come back, and I'm not sure what's going on. Do you have any idea what this could be or what I should do about it?

I'm not capable of viewing images, but based on your description, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist to examine the lump and determine the cause, as it could be a sign of an underlying condition, such as a cyst, abscess, or skin infection.

I've been dealing with scalp itching for a while and have been taking Minoz 100 tablets to help with it. It's frustrating because whenever I stop taking the medicine, the itching comes back after a few days. I'm worried about having to rely on these tablets forever. Is there a way to stop taking them and still manage the itching? Any advice would be appreciated.

t's great that you're looking to explore alternatives to long-term medication. Minoz 100 tablets and scalp itching: Minoz 100 tablets contain minocycline, an antibiotic commonly used to treat various skin conditions, including acne and rosacea. While it may help alleviate scalp itching, it's essential to address the underlying cause of the itching. Why itching returns after stopping the medication: The itching may return after stopping the medication due to: 1. Underlying condition: The root cause of the itching, such as dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis, may still be present. 2. Dependence on the medication: Your body may have become accustomed to the medication, leading to a rebound effect when it's stopped. 3. Hormonal or environmental factors: Hormonal fluctuations, stress, or environmental changes can trigger itching.
