I'm really worried about my hair lately. Over the past two weeks, I've noticed significant hair loss. Every time I comb my hair, it seems like I lose around 50 to 100 strands, sometimes even more. It's quite alarming because it seems to be getting worse each day. My period cycle is normal, so I'm not sure what's causing this. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

View allI have this really bad fungal infection on the head of my penis. I used undiluted Dettol to wash it a couple of times, and now it's burned my skin pretty badly. The skin's peeling off, and I'm noticing some rashes now. Could you please give me some advice on what to do?
Using undiluted Dettol on sensitive skin can cause severe irritation, burns, and peeling. Immediate Care 1. Stop using Dettol: Immediately discontinue using Dettol or any other harsh soap on the affected area. 2. Clean the area gently: Wash the penis head with mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel. 3. Apply a topical antibiotic cream: Over-the-counter (OTC) creams like Neosporin or Bacitracin can help prevent infection and promote healing. 4. Use a soothing cream: Apply a cream or gel containing aloe vera, hydrocortisone, or calamine to help soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. Treatment for Fungal Infection 1. Antifungal creams: OTC creams like clotrimazole (Candid-B) or miconazole (Micatin) can help treat fungal infections. 2. Oral antifungal medications: If the infection is severe or persistent, your doctor may prescribe oral antifungal medications like fluconazole (Diflucan). Managing Rashes and Peeling Skin 1. Topical corticosteroids: OTC creams or ointments containing hydrocortisone can help reduce inflammation and itching. 2. Moisturize: Apply a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer to help soothe and hydrate the skin.

I noticed a big pus-filled bump on my dad's back and when I pressed it, most of the pus came out. I've cleaned it with Savlon and dressed it with Betadine. I started giving him Augmentin 650 yesterday. Could you advise me on what else I should do or if there's something more I should be concerned about?

I've been dealing with itching on both my hands and legs for the past three days, and I'm worried because there's been no improvement despite taking Allegra 180 mg and Defcort 6 mg. I had typhoid about ten days ago. Could this itching be related to that, or is it something else? I'm not sure if I should change my medication or if there's something else I should try. Any ideas on what's going on?
