I'm dealing with an infection near my belly button, and it's been causing some pus discharge. I used soframycin initially and then tried Fucidin cream, which helped a bit with the discharge, but there's still some redness and irritation around the area. I've also been on antibiotics and taken some anti-inflammatory tablets like Zerodol. Today, I noticed some hairy material coming out, which I think might be related to the umbilical cord. Could you advise me on what steps I should take next?

View allI'm noticing these rashes popping up anywhere on my body, mainly in the morning and evening. Theyre itchy, red, and kind of rashy like pithi dafad, and they tend to disappear after a while. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?
It seems like you are experiencing a skin condition called Urticaria, also known as Hives. This condition presents as raised, itchy rashes that come and go. To help relieve the itching and redness, you can take Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas can also provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've had these bald patches over my left and right ear for about four years now, and they're really bothering me. They're oval and completely bald, and nothing I've tried so far has made them go away. I haven't done anything about it for the past two years, but it seems like the bald patches are slowly getting bigger. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or how I can treat it?

I'm having really thin hair and a bald spot on my forehead. My doctor advised me to use Mintop Eva 5, Anaboom anti-hairfall serum, and Trichon Forte tablets, but ever since I started using them, it feels like my hair is falling out even more, and it's getting worse. Can Mintop Eva cause more hair fall at first? Is there any way to stop my hair from falling out like this? And is there any chance I can regrow hair on the bald spot on my forehead? I'm really worried, and I'd love some guidance.
Mintop Eva 5% (Minoxidil) can sometimes cause increased hair shedding initially, but this is usually temporary and is a sign that the medication is working to stimulate new hair growth. It is important to continue using it as prescribed by your doctor. To help stop your hair fall, you can try switching to a different hair growth medication such as Finasteride or Dutasteride, which can be effective in treating male pattern baldness. Additionally, using a shampoo containing Ketoconazole can also help with hair loss. For growing hair on the frontal bald spot, you can consider hair transplant surgery as a permanent solution. It is important to consult with a dermatologist or a hair specialist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
