I'm having a tough time after my fissure surgery. The doctor gave me potassium permanganate and told me to sit in warm water with it for 20 minutes. It seemed okay at first, but when I went back to work and walked around, the skin outside my anus started to burn really badly. Now, it's happening again and again. What should I do? Can you help me figure this out?

I've been dealing with some hair fall issues and saw a doctor who recommended Kz lotion and Recute hair oil. While the hair fall has reduced, I'm not really seeing any new hair growth. My hair still feels pretty weak. I've heard about using egg masks for hairare they actually good? Also, are there any foods that can help with hair growth? I'm really hoping to get my hair strong and thick. Any suggestions?

Minoxidil is known to stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness. You can apply it to the scalp twice daily. Additionally, you can continue using the Kz lotion and Recute hair oil as prescribed by your doctor.

I've got these 4 tils on my left cheek and I'm really wondering if there's any way to get rid of them. I haven't tried any treatments or medicines yet. What do you suggest I should do? Is there a specific approach or medication that works best for something like this?

Facial moles, also known as til, can be treated with topical medications containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such medication is Melalite Cream, which contains hydroquinone. Apply a small amount of Melalite Cream on the til twice daily for several weeks. However, it is important to consult a dermatologist before starting any treatment to ensure proper diagnosis and management.
