I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with scabies; I understand how uncomfortable and frustrating the itching can be. It's important to get treatment as soon as possible, typically with prescribed creams or oral medication, to eliminate the mites and soothe the irritation. If you haven't yet, I recommend consulting your doctor for the best course of action.

I'm dealing with a water allergy, and it's causing me a lot of discomfort every time I take a bath because I get really itchy all over. My doctor prescribed Althrocin 500 for this, but I'm not sure if that's normal for treating something like this. Is there something else I should be aware of, or any other treatments I might need to consider?

I've been dealing with a really intense hair fall issue recently, and it's freaking me out a bit. About two months ago, I had dengue fever, and just about a week ago, I started losing a lot of hair, like 70 to 80 strands a day. I'm not sure if it's related, but it's really concerning. Could this be connected to my dengue fever? What should I do about it?
