I've been dealing with some issues ever since I took phosphorus 30c when I was younger, around 14-18 years old. I think it might've helped increase my hair back then, but now it seems like I'm facing some side effects. I've developed seborrheic dermatitis, and even though I wash my hair daily with shampoo, small hairs keep falling from my scalp. It's been impossible to grow my hair long without things getting worse. It's been around 5 years now, and I'm really struggling. Do you think the phosphorus might've caused this, and what can I do to improve my situation?

my mom had hip surgery recently and now she's developed a fungal infection there for the past two days - she also had head surgery before this, could that be related or making things worse? what should we do about the infection?

Fungal infection post-surgery needs antifungal treatment.Local care and hygiene are key.Head surgery may lower immunity.
