I'm wondering if I should keep taking the POPSON INTAS tablets that my doctor recommended. I'm supposed to have one in the morning and one at night, but when I took it just once at night, I ended up with body pain, especially in my hands, legs, and joints, and I felt really dizzy. I stopped taking it for now because I wasn't feeling well. Should I continue with this medication despite these side effects?

View allI'm noticing a lot more hairfall lately, especially after I comb my hair once it's dry from shampooinglike, I lose about 400-500 strands because my hair gets tangled. On other days, it's still happening but not as bad, maybe around 50 strands. I try to stay healthy by drinking 3-4 liters of water a day and exercising for about an hour daily. Plus, I don't really eat much oily food. Is there something I might be missing or should be doing differently to help with this hairfall?
To strengthen your hair and reduce breakage, you can try using a hair growth supplement like Biotin. Additionally, using a gentle shampoo like Nizoral can help with hair fall due to entanglement. You can also apply Minoxidil solution on your scalp to promote hair growth. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for each of these products.

I'm having these rashes and itches on my face, especially where I shave. Sometimes there's this burning sensation. It's been going on for over 10 years now, and I've tried so many medicines, but nothing seems to work. Some doctors said it's an allergy from my hair oil. Others think my skin's just really dry and sensitive. Plus, I'm dealing with hair fall and itching in my scalp too. Any advice on what could be going on or what I should try next?
That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
