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've been feeling really worried lately. A while back, while I was on vacation, I noticed some swelling under my left eye one night. I used exocin, and the swelling got better, but I started losing hair, and it's not stopping even after a month. I also got the same eye infection in the same eye again. What could be causing this hair loss and recurring infection? Is there something more serious going on? I'm really scared and would appreciate any advice.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called blepharitis, which is inflammation of the eyelids. The recurrence of the eye infection and ongoing hair loss may be related to this underlying issue. I recommend using a combination of antibiotic eye drops like Tobrex (tobramycin) and a mild steroid ointment like Tobradex (tobramycindexamethasone) for the eye infection. Additionally, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide for the hair loss. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for these medications. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've got an abrasion on my left wrist and I put some antiseptic ointment on it. I'm a bit unsure if I should cover it up with a bandage or just leave it open. Also, there's a little bit of liquid coming out of the wound. What should I do?

For an abrasion wound like yours, it is recommended to cover it with a bandage to protect it from dirt and bacteria, which can help prevent infection. You can use a sterile gauze pad and secure it with medical tape. Make sure to change the bandage regularly, at least once a day or whenever it gets wet or dirty. As for the liquid coming out of the wound, it is likely serous fluid, which is a normal part of the healing process. It helps keep the wound moist and aids in the formation of new tissue. However, if the fluid is excessive, discolored, or has a foul odor, it may indicate infection, and you should seek medical attention. To help with healing, you can also consider using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the wound before covering it with a bandage.
