I'm thinking about doing PRP therapy for my hair, but I smoke marijuana, and I'm worried it might affect the results. Should I stop smoking before and after the treatment, and if so, for how long?

I had some fish earlier and then drank buttermilk about an hour later. Now, my dad mentioned that combining the two might lead to skin issues. I'm kind of worried since I already had the buttermilk. Is there something I can do to prevent any skin problems, or is there anything I should be on the lookout for?

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that simultaneous intake of milk and fish is harmful to the body or skin in any way.

I've been struggling a lot with brittle hair and recently started experiencing severe hair loss. I'm a 29-year-old woman and have previously used Selsun shampoo for issues like dandruff and an oily scalp, and it seemed to work wonders back then. Now that I'm dealing with hair loss, I'm curious about which Selsun shampoos would be best for this problem. Could you give me some advice?

I'm dealing with a boil near my buttock, kind of close to the anus, and it's been there for the past two days. It's not too big yet but is a bit painful, especially when I sit down. There's just this one boil, but I'm really worried it might grow larger and become more painful. I started taking Augmentin 625 mg once a day at night and so far, I've only taken one tablet last night. Should I keep taking the antibiotics? Is it even necessary? Some of my friends mentioned it might be due to body heatcould that be true? This is the first time I've experienced something like this, and I could really use some advice.

Yes youc take that tablet as twice daily for 5 days,if its stille persisting or becoming worse visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management.
