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.

I'm really worried because since last night the glans of my penis has become swollen, and now the foreskin can't cover it. It's like the swollen part is sticking out past the foreskin. The sensitivity is intense and it's painful whenever I touch it. How long should I expect this swelling to last?
Surgeon opinion.

Can I use desonide cream to help with my skin tone? Is it safe for someone like me with dark, oily skin and acne marks?
Desonide cream is a topical corticosteroid primarily used to treat skin inflammation and allergies; while it may temporarily lighten skin tone due to its anti-inflammatory effects, using it for fairness is not recommended, as prolonged use can lead to skin thinning, acne, and other adverse effects, especially on oily and acne-prone skin.
