I've been having some issues since taking a tablet for my kidney stones. My scalp has become really itchy, and I've noticed a lot of hair fall. Plus, I have adenomyosis, so I'm a bit worried about all these symptoms happening at once. Could they be related, or should I be looking at something else as the cause?

Hair fall and itchy scalp can be side effects of certain medications. In your case, it could be due to the tablet you took for kidney stones. I recommend using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide for your itchy scalp. For hair fall, you can try minoxidil solution on your scalp. As for adenomyosis, you may benefit from taking hormonal medications such as birth control pills or a progesterone-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) to help manage the symptoms.

View allI'm noticing these small white bumps around my anus, and they kinda look like pimples or lumps. They started small and were really itchy, but now some have gotten bigger and there's more of them near the anal area. The itching has stopped though. I tried taking some medicines for 15 dayslike Ascazin capsules, cosmetic clear gel with clindamycin, zitcare s 1 gel, and even used dermadew bact soapbut there's been no improvement. What could this be, and what should I do next?
Anovate cream for local application at bedtime for 7 days, tab.ciplox tz twice daily orally for 7 days and tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime is advised to the patient.

Having just recovered from jaundice a couple of months ago, my friend, whos only 23, is really worried about losing a lot of hair lately. We visited a doctor who suggested using a procapil-based solution, but we're concerned about any side effects or what might happen if she stops using it. Could you shed some light on this?
yes you can have it

I'm a bit confused about how to use the acnewar gel that my doctor prescribed. Should I wash my face with water after applying the gel and then use the face wash my doctor recommended? Or do I just use the face wash directly after putting on the acnewar gel? I'm not really sure what the correct order is.
When using Acnewar gel and a prescribed face wash, follow this order: 1. *Apply Acnewar gel*: Directly apply a thin layer of Acnewar gel to the affected areas. 2. *Wait for 15-30 minutes*: Allow the gel to absorb and work on the acne. 3. *Wash your face with the prescribed face wash*: Use lukewarm water and a small amount of face wash to cleanse your face. 4. *Rinse thoroughly*: Rinse your face with lukewarm water to remove all residue. Do not mix Acnewar gel with the face wash. Apply the gel first, wait, and then wash your face with the prescribed face wash.
