I'm really worried after the doctor mentioned I might have this steroid-related issue from using Lucobet skin cream. I can't remember the full name of the disease the doctor said. I'm currently on Doxil 100 and Nioclean gel for treatment. How long do you think it'll take before I see some improvement?

I'm dealing with a lot of hair fall and also have an anal fistula. My hair keeps falling no matter what I try, and the doctor said I need surgery for the fistula soon. What should I do about both issues?

To address both hair fall and an anal fistula, it's important to focus on reducing stress, managing the fistula with medical intervention, and addressing potential underlying causes of hair loss. For the fistula, the doctor's recommendation for surgery should be followed. For hair fall, explore potential causes like stress, fungal infections, or nutritional deficiencies, and consider seeking professional advice for appropriate treatment.
