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.

I'm a 23-year-old woman, and my dermatologist recommended Keraglo Men for me. I'm a bit concerned, is it safe for me to use it since it's labeled "Men"?
Keraglo Men is a supplement specifically formulated for men's hair and skin health, containing ingredients like biotin, keratin, and saw palmetto. While the ingredients are generally safe, there are some considerations for a 23-year-old female: Hormonal considerations: Saw palmetto, in particular, may affect hormone levels, which could be a concern for women, especially those with hormonal imbalances or taking birth control. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's essential to exercise caution when taking any supplement, as some ingredients may pass into breast milk or affect fetal development.

If you take Antoxid HC twice a day, there are some common side effects that you may experience. These can include gastrointestinal disturbances like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
