I've been dealing with a lot of hair fall ever since I recovered from chickenpox about two months ago. It's winter here in India, and I'm also struggling with dandruff. I've noticed that the hair I lose often has a white bulb at the end. What can I do to help stop the hair fall and fix these issues?

I've been dealing with a mild itch around my anus, so I put some Dettol on it. Now it's a bit swollen and there's this weird sticky feeling that won't go away, even after I clean it with water. There's no pain, though. Could Dettol have caused this, or is it just something from the itch itself? What can I do to get rid of that sticky sensation?

Discontinue using Dettol, as it can be too harsh for anal skin, and instead, try the following to alleviate the sticky feeling and swelling: clean the area gently with warm water; apply a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic soap or a mild cleanser specifically designed for anal care; pat dry, avoiding rubbing or scratching; apply a thin layer of a soothing cream or ointment, such as hydrocortisone or aloe vera gel; and consider taking an oral antihistamine or applying a topical antihistamine cream to reduce itching and inflammation.

I've been noticing these small lumps on my cheekbone, right under my eye. They tend to swell up by themselves and then the swelling goes down after a few days, but then they come back after about a month. It's like a recurring cycle and I'm starting to get scars from them. Should I be worried about these lumps? What could be causing this?

That could be MILIA which is usually self limiting,no need to worry consume balanced diet and maintian healthy life style,do not try to squeeze them or scratch them.

I'm planning to use Bontress hair serum and I'm kind of confused about whether I need to wash my hair every day after applying it in the morning. Is it okay to just leave it in and head to work, or do I need to wash it out? My doctor mentioned using 3 sprays in the morning and 4 in the evening. I'm just trying to figure out the best routine. Can I apply it and then just leave it on, or should I wash it off after some time?

You can leave the serum on your scalp and go about your day without washing it off. There is no need to wash your hair immediately after applying the serum. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosage and application times for best results."
