I've been dealing with this really annoying itching all over my body for the past week. I'm not sure what's causing it and it's really starting to bother me. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do about it?

You may be experiencing a condition called urticaria, also known as hives. To help relieve the itching, you can take cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply calamine lotion to the affected areas for soothing relief. If the itching persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've had this cyst on my left cheek for about a month now and I can't seem to squeeze it out. It's really bothering me and I'm worried about it getting worse. What kind of surgery would be best to remove it properly? Will there be any scarring?

For proper cyst removal, surgical excision is generally the most effective and recommended approach. This involves removing the entire cyst, including its wall, which can help prevent recurrence. While some scarring is likely, modern techniques and proper aftercare can help minimize its appearance.

I'm really worried about my hair. For the past three years, the temples on my scalp have been losing hair really fast, and even the front center part seems to be thinning out more every day. It's frustrating because, on top of that, my hair is also turning white and falling out. Ive tried using minoxidil 5% solution and even took amla ras, but nothing seems to be working. What should I do next to save my hair?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab follihair once ,daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
