I'm thinking about trying Follicle RX for hair loss, but I'm a little worried. Does it really work, and could it cause any side effects, either short or long term? Have people actually tried it and seen good results?

View allI've been dealing with scabies, and the itching is driving me insane. It's pretty much everywhere on my body. What can I do to ease this itching? It's becoming unbearable.
I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with scabies; I understand how uncomfortable and frustrating the itching can be. It's important to get treatment as soon as possible, typically with prescribed creams or oral medication, to eliminate the mites and soothe the irritation. If you haven't yet, I recommend consulting your doctor for the best course of action.

I've tested positive for Herpes 1, with an igg level of 18 COI, which seems really high to me. I've already done a 7-day course of Acyclovir, but my results haven't changed at all. I'm starting to worry because I've heard there's no cure for Herpes type 1. Can you help me understand why my levels are so high even after treatment, and is there anything else I can do?
A positive herpes simplex virus (HSV) IgG result with a COI of 18 indicates a past exposure to the virus, as IgG antibodies typically appear after the initial infection. While there's no cure for herpes, antiviral medications like acyclovir can help manage symptoms and reduce the frequency of outbreaks. If your symptoms persist, consider consulting your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I'm living in Chennai and have been dealing with pearly penile papules for about 15 years now. Even though they don't cause any pain, they're like small white pimples around the head of my circumcised penis. I recently tried using toothpaste to dry them out, and it seemed like they got smaller when the skin peeled off after a week. But after about a month, they came back just like before. I've heard about CO2 laser treatments that might help remove them. Are there any dermatologists in Chennai who can offer this kind of treatment? I'm really looking to figure this out.
Can be effectively treated with CO2 laser therapy. In Chennai, you can consult with a dermatologist who specializes in laser treatments for this condition. One common brand of CO2 laser used for this purpose is the Lumenis UltraPulse. The dermatologist will determine the appropriate dosage and number of sessions required for the treatment.
