I'm really worried because I've been experiencing massive hair loss after having dengue fever. My dermatologist tells me it's called Telogen Effluvium. Every day, it feels like my hair is just falling out in chunks, and I'm terrified that I might lose all of it soon. In just two weeks, I've lost half of my hair, and it's really shaking my confidence to the point where I just want to hide away. I'm wondering if I should start wearing a wig and just hope for the best. Is there any chance my hair will grow back, or should I be prepared for the possibility of going bald? This whole thing is incredibly stressful and I'm struggling to cope. Looking for some advice on what I should do.

Is it okay to use dermocalm lotion for pimples? I got viral fever a couple of days ago, and now I have a lot of pimples on my back because of the heat. Could you let me know if applying dermocalm would help with this?

It's not effective towards acne but your complaint is clear stating post fever rashes for such this cream would work,if not visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I'm dealing with super sensitive skin and I've been trying out different creams. My neighbor suggested I try Skin Lite cream, and I've been using it once a day in the evening for about three weeks now. At first, everything was fine and my skin got a bit fairer. But during the second week, my face started getting irritated every time I washed it with Dove. Now, in the third week, I'm noticing some white patches on my face. Should I keep using the cream or is it best to stop?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm really curious to know if CO2 laser treatment truly works. Can you tell me what the side effects are and what precautions I need to take before and after the procedure? How long does it usually take to heal? And is this treatment actually good for getting rid of acne scars?
