I've been applying Dettol on my face and steaming for 15 minutes. After that, my face turns really red and dark, and it's itching a lot. Is it okay to use Dettol on my face? What might happen because of this?

View allI got bitten by a leech on July 21st, 2019, and since then I've had a tetanus shot and been on antibiotics. Now I'm experiencing some itching and rashes. Should I be worried about any long-term effects or is this a normal reaction?

I'm really worried because I'm losing hair more on the right side of my head, especially around the temples, and my hairline is receding. The hair is super thin and comes out several times a day. I notice tiny hairs growing in the same area but they just won't get longer. My scalp gets itchy sometimes but there's no dandruff. Is there any chance I can recover some of my frontal hairline?
Losing hair on one side more than the other with thinning and hair fall can be a sign of male pattern baldness. To help with hair regrowth and prevent further hair loss, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas. Additionally, taking finasteride 1mg daily can also help in promoting hair regrowth and preventing hair loss. It is important to use these medications consistently for several months to see results. In some cases, a dermatologist may recommend steroid injections or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy to stimulate hair growth. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

I'm still dealing with a pretty bad infection on my inner thigh, and even after taking and applying Terbest like my doctor suggested, it hasn't gotten any better. It's been over a month now, and I'm not sure what to do next. Can you give me some advice on what might be going on or what steps I should take?
Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
