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?

View allI'm a bit worried because I've been using peroclin 5 for a year now, and the results have been good, but lately, I've noticed that the cream is really watery and doesn't dry up like it used to. I'm not sure if this is because they're making it differently or if it's just the hot weather. If it doesn't dry, I'm concerned it might not be as effective for my acne. Do you know of any alternatives to peroclin that could help me out?
Peroclin 5% is a benzoyl peroxide-based cream. The watery consistency might be due to the manufacturer's formulation change or storage conditions. Alternatives to Peroclin 5%: 1. *Benzoyl peroxide gels* (2.5% or 5%): Neutrogena, Clearasil, or generic versions. 2. *Adapalene gel* (0.1%): Differin, Adaferin, or generic versions. 3. *Salicylic acid products* (0.5% or 2%): Clean & Clear, Stridex, or generic versions.

I've been using Skinlite for a couple of days now, and I'm really worried because the skin around my black spots has gotten worse. It's turned red and then turned black. What can I do to get my skin back to normal?
You can apply a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1 week to reduce inflammation. Additionally, use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion to keep the skin hydrated. Make sure to protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my friend because they keep getting these painful pocks between their chest area. It's been happening quite frequently, and the last one was really big and hurt a lot. This has been going on for the past 23 weeks. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what we should do about it?
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
