Hair loss can be distressing! Acneac MR tablets, which contain minocycline, can contribute to hair loss as a rare side effect. However, it's essential to consult your doctor to determine if the tablets are the primary cause of your hair fall.

Other possible causes of hair loss:

Hormonal imbalances

Genetics

Nutritional deficiencies (e.g., iron, zinc, or biotin)

Stress

Certain medical conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases)

Can hair regrow with medication?

Yes, in some cases, medication can help promote hair growth or slow down hair loss

I've been dealing with this persistent itching near my bikini area for about a month now, and its gradually spreading. My skin is really dry and it's peeling, almost like it's broken. I went to a doctor who prescribed a cream called TEXIFEN, but I haven't seen any improvement. What could be causing this, and should I try a different treatment?

In addition to the cream you have been using, I recommend adding an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole cream, You can also take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole to treat the infection from the inside. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to help with the healing process.

I've always thought I had good hair, but over time, I've noticed it's not as dense as it used to be. I've constantly struggled with dandruff too. In Bangalore, the water is quite hard, and we usually use borewell or tank water for bathing. I'm wondering if washing my hair with KENT purifier water, which has a TDS level of 80, could have any negative effects. Could this be a better option for my hair problems?

You can purchase and use water softeners on a bucket of water before taking bath.
