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?

View allI'm really struggling with a mouth ulcer that's been bothering me for the past three months. I've tried seeing a few different doctors, and they've prescribed a bunch of meds like Becosules, Oflox 200, Glenora gel, Lerobaet 500, Oraways gel, and Zincovit tablets. I've attached an image, but nothing seems to be working, and it's getting really uncomfortable. Any idea why this is happening or what else I can try for some relief?

I'm really worried because I got a positive result for HSV IgG with a range of 2.7. I've had the virus for three months, and it's mainly affecting my testicles, anus, and penis. I'm not experiencing pain, swelling, itching, or ulcers on my penis. I'm just scared and unsure if this is something that can be treated forever. Can you advise on what steps I should take?

I'm trying to deal with some acne scars, and my dermatologist recommended nirvalyte gel. But unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere. Do you have any suggestions for other treatments? The pigmentation is just a bit, but the scars are more of the pitting type. I'm curious if there's something else that might help!
You can consider using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A (tretinoin) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas at night. Additionally, you can also try using a vitamin C serum to help with pigmentation. Make sure to use a sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. If these treatments do not show significant improvement, you may consider procedures like microdermabrasion or laser therapy after consulting with a dermatologist.
