I'm dealing with a burn from hot water and I'm not sure who I should see for this - a physician or a dermatologist. I've attached a picture of the burn for reference. Also, I'm currently using Silverex Ionic ointment. Any advice on what to do next?

I'm having continuous boils around my vagina and butt, and they don't seem to stop. They're warm, swollen, big, and full of pus, which makes it really painful to walk. What should I do about this?

I've been really worried because my hair has started falling out a lot again and my crown line is receding. It all kicked off about two years ago, and even though I've been to different doctors, nothing seems to stick. Last year, in August, a doctor in Mumbai prescribed me a bunch of stuff: Capsule hair fix advance 1mg, Finax 1mg tablets, spray Grocapix, lotion Adroanagen, and Foliglo shampoo. After using these for a month, there was improvement, but now the hair fall is back. What should I do next?

According to your history it looks like androgenic alopecia if at all the above medications did work continue them as your Dermatologist advised,and balanced diet with extra protein and adequate sleep will help.
