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 really struggling with these freckles and DPNS on my face. Is laser treatment the only way to get rid of them? And if it is, how much would it cost? Also, I'm looking for a good skin clinic in Bangalore. Any recommendations?

Laser treatment isn't the only option for removing freckles and dark patches (DPNs) on the face, but it's a popular choice. Other treatments include chemical peels and skin lightening treatments. The cost of laser treatment in Bangalore can range from 4,000 to 14,500 per session. For chemical peels, it can cost between 2,950 to 8,500.
