I've always had really thick, full hair, but lately, I've been losing a lot of it, and thats never happened to me before. My hairline has receded by about 5cm, and my hair seems to be getting thinner and weaker every day. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

it sounds like you may be experiencing male pattern baldness. I recommend using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, taking finasteride 1mg tablet once daily can help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It's important to be consistent with these treatments to see results.

I've got these yellow nails that are really painful, and I'm not sure who I should see about it. My fingernails are turning yellow, and it's worrying me. Any idea which doctor is best to consult for something like this?
Yellow nails can be a sign of a fungal infection or other underlying health issues. You can start by using an over-the-counter antifungal nail cream like Lamisil cream twice a day on the affected nails. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine. Make sure to keep your nails clean and dry, and avoid wearing nail polish until the condition improves. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with an infection that keeps popping up on the back of my head, right on the scalp. I usually use soframycin, and it clears up in about 3 to 4 days, but then it just reappears after maybe 1 to 2 months.
