I'm really worried because I've had two UTIs recently and during the same time, I've noticed my hair getting thinner and I'm losing quite a bit of it. Is this related? Like, can recurrent UTIs actually cause hair thinning and hair loss? It's really stressing me out, and I'm not sure what's going on.

I'm allergic to Dettol and Savlon and whenever I use them on my skin, I get rashes and red spots. A few days ago, I had a skin prick allergy test and they cleaned my skin with something that probably had the same ingredient, so I've ended up with really itchy red rashes and spots on both my forearms. Do you think this could be causing a more severe reaction? How should I treat these rashes, and is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again in the future?

This is quite rare.. But you are allergic to antiseptic solution itself.. So should avoid it.. Check if you are allergic to soap or not?? Some people are allergic to different things.. Whenever you go to hospital you must open up about this allergiec history......

I'm looking for advice on a diet or exercise plan that actually works for getting rid of lipomas. Are there any natural remedies that could help with this?

While there's no proven natural remedy for lipoma removal, a healthy diet rich in antioxidants (like fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats) may help reduce inflammation. Regular exercise can improve circulation, potentially aiding in the prevention of new lipomas. However, for removal, surgical options are often the most effective.
