I've been dealing with typhoid and according to my CBC report, my platelets are low. For a few months now, I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss. My doctor suggested taking biotin 5 mg for a month, but it hasn't helped. Could there be something else causing this or any other suggestions you might have?

I've been experiencing some itching in between my fingers on both my hands and feet, but there aren't any red dots or rashes there. It's a bit concerning, and I'm not really sure what's causing it. Could there be a reason for this itching even without visible signs like rashes?

I'm struggling to pick between Eplyino and Cetaphil lotion because of my oily and sensitive skin. Can you help me figure out which one would be better for daily nourishment without causing any breakouts or irritation? I'm a bit worried about choosing the wrong product.

For oily, sensitive skin, I would recommend using Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion. It is a gentle and non-comedogenic lotion that provides long-lasting hydration without clogging pores. You can apply it daily to nourish and moisturize your skin.

I'm curious if applying oil to my hair is really necessary. Does it help with hair regrowth or offer any benefits? Could you explain a bit more about this?

Applying oil to the scalp can help improve the health of the hair and scalp. It can help moisturize the scalp, reduce dandruff, and improve the overall condition of the hair. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the claim that applying oil alone can regrow hair. For hair regrowth, it is recommended to use medications like Minoxidil solution 5% applied twice daily on the scalp. This medication has been shown to promote hair regrowth in some individuals.
