I'm dealing with HSV 1 and found out I'm IgG positive. Since I've had this infection before and it's now latent, could I still pass it on to someone else through oral contact even when I don't have active symptoms?

I'm trying to find out if taking a zincovit tablet helps with reducing grey hair and hair fall. My routine is having some abc juice in the morning, then muesli, followed by lunch, and taking a zincovit tablet after that. In the evening, I make a spinach banana smoothie. I'm just wondering if this diet could help decrease hair fall or if it might cause more heat in my body. What do you think?

Zincovit tablets can help improve hair health and reduce hair fall, but they may not directly reduce grey hair. Your diet plan seems balanced and nutritious, which can contribute to overall hair health. However, zincovit tablets contain zinc, vitamins, and minerals that may not necessarily produce more heat in your body. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated to support hair health.

I'm really worried about my skin recently. I had treatment for ringworm last month, but now I've noticed bristles near one of the spots where the ringworm was. This has been happening for the past two weeks. Could this be related to a condition like harpics disease? I'd really appreciate some guidance on what I should do next.

If so, please help me out. It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection known as tinea corporis, which is commonly referred to as ringworm. The presence of bristles near the ringworm spot could indicate a recurrence or incomplete treatment of the fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Remember to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've been prescribed Keraglo AD antidandruff shampoo, Keraglo XL serum, and Keraglo Men tablets for my hair fall problem, but I'm a bit hesitant and have a few questions. I plan on just using the shampoo and tablets for now, but should I consider using the serum too? Also, I'm curious if there are any side effects I should be aware of with these products. The shampoo has ingredients like Aloe Vera, D-Panthenol, Ichthyol Pale, and Ketoconazole. The serum has Biochanin A, Tetrapeptide-3, and Acetyl Kera XL, with almond oil and Vitamin E. For the tablets, they contain Biotin, Calcium Pantothenate, Elemental Copper, Elemental Selenium, Elemental Zinc, and N-Acetyl L-Cysteine. Any advice would be really appreciated!
