I'm really concerned because I've been losing hair from my scalp, body, and even my public hair for the past eight months. It all seemed to start when I was diagnosed with acid reflux and began taking the medication the doctor prescribed. I only took them for two days before I noticed the hair loss. On top of that, I've been dealing with dandruff for the last five years. Could this hair loss be related to the meds I was taking or maybe the dandruff, scalp psoriasis, or even a deficiency or something else entirely? The medicines I was prescribed were Picotex syrup, Tricaine MPS gel, Orypan DSR, Arcalion tab, Orycobal cap, and Biopride cap. Any idea what's going on?

I've been dealing with ringworm for about 4 years, and nothing seemed to work until someone told me to try derobin ointment. It cleared up the ringworm on my hand, so I also applied it to my neck and throat area. But now things have gotten worsemy skin is peeling and doesn't seem to be healing. I'm really worried. What should I do?

It sounds like you may have developed a reaction to the derobin ointment when applied to your neck and throat. I recommend stopping the ointment immediately and washing the affected areas with mild soap and water. You can apply a soothing and healing ointment like Silverex cream to help with the healing process. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine can help with any itching or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
