I've been having terrible hair fall ever since I had dengue fever. It's really worrying me, and I don't know what to do to make it stop quickly. Could you please guide me on how to deal with this?

To help stop hair fall, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin tablets 10mg once daily can also help in promoting hair growth. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid excessive stress.

I'm dealing with this stubborn fungal-like infection on my buttocks for a couple of months now. I've been using an ointment to try and get rid of it, but it's just not going away. It hasn't spread, which is a relief, but it's still there like it just won't budge. What could be the reason it's not healing? Is there something else I should be doing or using to finally get rid of it?
