I'm really struggling with a lot of hair loss, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice on how to deal with this issue? Also, if you could recommend a good shampoo or hair oil that might help, I would really appreciate it.

Hair loss can be caused by various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. To help reduce hair loss, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% applied twice daily on the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily can also promote hair growth. For the best hair wash shampoo, you can try using Nizoral shampoo twice a week to help with dandruff and hair loss. For oil, you can use Rogaine foam once daily on the scalp to promote hair regrowth. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication or supplement regimen.

I'm dealing with chronic folliculitis and it's really frustrating. I've seen a dermatologist and tried ampicillin and cloxacillin tablets, which help while I'm on them. But as soon as I stop taking the medication, the infection just comes right back. Is there anything I can do to keep it from returning?

You did not mention what body part is getting affected repeatedly. Chronic folliculitis is a stubborn infection of hair follicle and takes longer time for cure. You may need longer course of an antibiotic after pus culture. Visit a dermatologist again for same.
