I'm concerned about the levels of TDS in my bathing water. I've read that around 500 ppm is okay, but I'm wondering if that's true for avoiding hair fall and skin problems. Could you shed some light on this?

I'm dealing with chronic folliculitis and it's really frustrating. I've seen a dermatologist and tried ampicillin and cloxacillin tablets, which help while I'm on them. But as soon as I stop taking the medication, the infection just comes right back. Is there anything I can do to keep it from returning?

You did not mention what body part is getting affected repeatedly. Chronic folliculitis is a stubborn infection of hair follicle and takes longer time for cure. You may need longer course of an antibiotic after pus culture. Visit a dermatologist again for same.
