I'm currently taking HCQS 200 twice a day for my skin issues, and I used to drink a lot before starting this medication. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have one drink a day or a glass of wine with dinner now. I'd really appreciate your advice.

View allI've been really worried because I had dengue fever about two months ago, and for the past 20 days or so, Ive been experiencing really intense hair fall. Its like, when I wash my hair, I can't even count the number of hairs that fallmaybe around 300? And even when I gently touch my head, it seems like hundreds of hairs come out. Is this normal after having dengue? Do you think my hair will grow back on its own, or should I be thinking about getting some treatment? What's your take on this?

Do acne scars go away?
That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.

I'm dealing with some skin issues and have a noticeable black spot on my face. I'm considering using Melacare cream and Sunstop 30 cream. Do you think these products would be effective for this kind of problem, or is there something else you would recommend? I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects too.
Yes you can use it but better to take openion from dermatologist
