I've been feeling really worried lately. A while back, while I was on vacation, I noticed some swelling under my left eye one night. I used exocin, and the swelling got better, but I started losing hair, and it's not stopping even after a month. I also got the same eye infection in the same eye again. What could be causing this hair loss and recurring infection? Is there something more serious going on? I'm really scared and would appreciate any advice.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called blepharitis, which is inflammation of the eyelids. The recurrence of the eye infection and ongoing hair loss may be related to this underlying issue. I recommend using a combination of antibiotic eye drops like Tobrex (tobramycin) and a mild steroid ointment like Tobradex (tobramycindexamethasone) for the eye infection. Additionally, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide for the hair loss. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for these medications. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed that after getting PRP done on October 10th, my hair seems to be falling out more when I brush it, and it's even shedding when I wash it lately. Could this be a reaction to the PRP treatment not working well for me, or is this kind of hair fall normal after the treatment? What can I do to manage this, and how should I take care of my hair right now?

I'm experiencing full body irritation and itching and I've already stopped taking ecosprin. Could you suggest any remedies to help with this? I'm really unsure about what to do next.

Can be due to various reasons. Since you have mentioned that you stopped taking Ecosprin, it could be a possible cause of your symptoms. To help relieve the itching and irritation, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas can also provide relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid scratching the itchy areas to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
