I've been dealing with this skin allergy for the past 10 days, and it's really frustrating because it's spreading to my throat and neck. It's super itchy! I'm taking avil tablets and using clobate ointment, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Is there anything else I can do to get relief from this itching, or a different treatment I should try? Should I be worried about how it's spreading?

I've had a keloid problem for the last 3 years and now I have big keloid marks like thick lines on my hand. I'm thinking about plastic surgery but I'm scared because what if the stitches from the surgery also turn into keloids? Will that happen?

I've been struggling with continuous hair fall for the past four years, and I'm really concerned about what's happening. I even consulted with Dr. Batra for a couple of years and tried professional treatments, but nothing seems to be helping. What could be going wrong? I'm looking for some guidance on what I should do next.

Hair fall can be due to various reasons such as genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions. In your case, since you have already tried treatments without success, I recommend trying minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) twice daily on the scalp. Additionally, you can consider taking finasteride (brand name Propecia) 1mg daily to help with hair regrowth. It is important to use these medications consistently for at least 6 months to see results. Make sure to consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.
