I'm worried that my hair is falling out because of the Acenac MR tablets I've been taking. Do you think it could be the cause? Also, is there any way to regrow my hair with medication? How can I reach out to you for advice?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allI'm dealing with a stubborn fungal infection around my genitals and it's been a real pain for about 3 years now. I've tried creams like Soframycin and taken Candistat tablets, but nothing seems to help long-term. It tends to get worse when I sweat, and it's really itchy and turns red. Im worried and don't know what else to try. Do you have any advice on what could work or whats causing this?
A persistent fungal infection near the genitals, especially one that increases with sweat and causes itching and redness, often requires strong, prolonged antifungal treatment. If the current treatment hasnt been effective, I recommend following up with your doctor for a more tailored approach, potentially involving oral antifungal medication and more careful management of moisture and hygiene in the affected area.

But it still hurts when I'm changing the dressing. Is there anything else I can do to help it heal faster?

I'm a 17-year-old girl struggling with a ton of pimples on my face, and the usual acne creams haven't really worked out for me. I'm wondering if Metrogyl Gel could be effective for treating my acne?
Metrogyl Gel, containing metronidazole, is primarily used to treat rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness, inflammation, and acne-like symptoms. While it might help with acne, its effectiveness for this purpose is limited. For acne treatment, consider the following: 1. Benzoyl peroxide-based creams or gels (2.5% or 5%) for mild to moderate acne. 2. Salicylic acid-based products (0.5% or 2%) for blackheads and whiteheads. 3. Sulfur-based products for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment. They may prescribe topical or oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal treatments, depending on your acne severity and type.
