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 recently noticed some warts around the base of my penis, so I tried using this product called Wart Magic. I put it on the warts three times, but after the third time, it started burning really badly and it just won't stop. I'm stuck in a training course for the next six weeks and I can't see a doctor right now. What can I do to get some relief from this burning sensation?

yes

I'm experiencing hair fall after recovering from typhoid fever. What steps can I take to minimize this shedding? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Typhoid fever can cause hair loss due to the physical stress it puts on the body. To reduce hair fall after typhoid fever: *Nutrition and Supplements* 1. *Protein-rich diet*: Include protein-rich foods like fish, eggs, beans, and nuts to help rebuild hair follicles. 2. *Iron supplements*: Iron deficiency is common after typhoid fever. Consult your doctor about taking iron supplements. 3. *Vitamin B complex*: Vitamin B complex, especially B12, plays a crucial role in hair growth. Consider taking supplements or eating foods rich in vitamin B. 4. *Omega-3 fatty acids*: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil supplements, promote hair growth and reduce inflammation. *Hair Care* 1. *Gentle shampooing*: Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to minimize hair breakage. 2. *Reduce heat styling*: Avoid heat styling tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers, as they can damage hair and lead to breakage. 3. *Use a wide-tooth comb*: A wide-tooth comb is gentler on hair than regular combs or brushes, which can cause breakage. 4. *Avoid harsh chemical treatments*: Postpone chemical treatments like hair dyeing, perming, or straightening until your hair has fully recovered. *Additional Tips* 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from typhoid fever and promote hair growth. 2. *Reduce stress*: High stress levels can contribute to hair loss. Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 3. *Get enough sleep*: Adequate sleep is essential for hair growth and overall health. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Consult your doctor or a dermatologist for personalized advice on reducing hair fall after typhoid fever.

I'm a 23-year-old girl, and I've been on mDR TB medication for the past 10 months. I've lost about 90% of my hair, and I'm really worried. Will my hair grow back after I'm done with the medication? Can I regain my hair? I'm feeling really depressed about this.
