I've been having this really awful fishy smell in my groin area and it's driving me crazy. I wash a lot, but it doesn't seem to help. I've tried using some rubbing alcohol like Seabreeze and it helps for a couple of days, but then it's back again after I sweat at night. I'm worried and not sure what to do next. Any ideas?

I'm really worried because I've been losing a lot of hair whenever I take a head bath or even when I'm just combing it. I recently had a case of typhoid fever, and now my hair feels really soft and seems to break easily. Could this be related to the fever, and what can I do to help my hair recover?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
