I've been dealing with telogen effluvium for the past three weeks, and I'm really worried about losing between 500 to 600 hairs a day. Is this kind of hair loss normal during telogen effluvium, or should I be concerned?

I got stung by a honey bee on my penis shaft and took out the sting myself. It didn't hurt after that, but now, about half an hour later, it's swollen up. What do you recommend for medication or treatment?

Oral medicine will take a lot of time to show its complete effect in this scenario .You better consult a doctor physically so that with injectables it will be resolved as soon as possible .

I'm thinking about trying Follicle RX for hair loss, but I'm a little worried. Does it really work, and could it cause any side effects, either short or long term? Have people actually tried it and seen good results?

My skin has been noticeably darker ever since I had typhoid about five years ago. I recently did a blood test, and everything came back normal, but my skin tone just seems to keep getting darker. It's really worrying me, and I'm trying to understand why this is happening and what I can do about it. Could there be some underlying issue that's causing this, even if my blood work looks fine?
