I'm really concerned because I got diagnosed with typhoid back in January and thankfully I recovered in about 10 days. But ever since, I've been experiencing this really intense hair fall. It's starting to worry me a lot. Can you recommend any medication or treatments that could help reduce the hair fall and maybe also improve my overall hair health?

I'm a 26-year-old guy living in Mumbai. I used to have a fair complexion, but after years of sun exposure and not really taking care of my skin, my face, hands, and neck have become visibly darker. If I stay indoors for a few days, my skin lightens up a bit, but I can't really do that since I have to work. My body's skin is quite fair, and with my wedding coming up soon, I want to get back to my old skin tone on my face and hands. Can you suggest any daily home remedies or maybe pills like glutathione for this? How safe is it to take glutathione? Are there any side effects, and how likely are they to happen? Also, if I start using it, would the skin tone change be long-lasting, or would I have to keep taking the pills to maintain it?

To help regain your lost complexion and lighten your skin tone, you can consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or azelaic acid. These can help lighten dark spots and even out skin tone. Additionally, using a daily sunscreen with high SPF can prevent further darkening of the skin due to sun exposure.

I've been having trouble with these black spots on my skin, and I tried using Betnovate cream, but I'm not really sure if it's the right thing to do. Do you think it's effective for this kind of issue? I did visit a skincare specialist, but it didn't seem to help much. What do you suggest I should do next?

Betnovate cream may not be effective in removing black spots.

I'm really worried about my roommate who got a spider bite and now has red spots, rashes, and is itching all over. He's getting treated, but I'm concerned if this is something contagious. Do I need to take any precautions to avoid getting it myself?

No need to worry thats not contagious and ask your friend to visit hospital for a better care
