I've been experiencing rapid hair loss for the past two months. About six months ago, I had dengue and since then, I haven't used any medication for my hair. Also, I'm dealing with pimples on my face. I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Can you suggest anything?

I understand your concern about rapid hair fall and pimples.
Hair Fall After Dengue Fever
- Telogen Effluvium: Dengue fever can cause Telogen Effluvium, a condition where hair enters the resting phase and falls out after a few months.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Dengue fever can lead to nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which can contribute to hair loss.
- Hormonal Imbalance: Dengue fever can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to hair loss.
Pimples and Hair Fall Connection
- Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal fluctuations can contribute to both pimples and hair loss.
- Stress: Stress can exacerbate both pimples and hair loss.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, such as zinc, biotin, or vitamin B, can contribute to both pimples and hair loss.

View allI've always had dry lips, even though I try to stay hydrated. My skin keeps peeling off, and now my lips have turned dark. I'm really looking for a way to fix this permanently. What can I do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic dryness and peeling of your lips. To help improve the condition of your lips, I recommend using a lip balm containing ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, and vitamin E. You can try using Burt's Bees Lip Balm regularly throughout the day to keep your lips moisturized. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of Aquaphor Healing Ointment before bedtime to help repair and hydrate your lips overnight. Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain hydration from within.

I've been dealing with this jock itch for a couple of months now and it's driving me crazy. I've tried using Cloben G cream, and it seems to help while I'm using it, but as soon as I stop, the itch comes back. It's really uncomfortable and mostly around my inner thighs and buttocks. The skin is darker with a red, bumpy border, and lighter brown inside. I'm looking for a permanent fix. What can I do?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm really worried about my hair because whenever I oil my scalp, I get this really sharp pain, almost like someone is pulling my hair. This pain doesnt go away until I wash it off. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about something more serious going on?
Normal.
