I've been having these cysts or boils on my scrotum that itch every now and then. They keep showing up and some of them even puff up. What could be causing this, and is there something I can do to prevent or treat it?

My wife's hair is falling out really fast, and I'm getting pretty worried. She had typhoid back in MayI'm not sure if that could be linked to her hair loss? A doctor told us to try a sulphate-free shampoo, but it doesn't seem to be making any difference. Any idea what we should do next?

I'm dealing with some really painful boils and it's been quite tough. I'm wondering if you're able to operate on them? If so, could you let me know as soon as possible? I'm really hoping to get this sorted out quickly.
I'm here to help with advice and information, but I can't perform physical procedures like surgery. However, I can guide you on how to manage boils and offer some recommendations for treatment. Here are a couple of questions to better understand your situation: How long have you been experiencing these boils, and have they appeared before? Are you experiencing any other symptoms, like fever, or have you noticed any discharge from the boils? For treating boils, here's a general plan you could consider: Treatment Plan: Warm Compresses: Apply a warm, damp cloth to the affected area several times a day. This can help the boil drain naturally. Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help alleviate pain. Hygiene: Keep the area clean and avoid squeezing or popping the boil, as this can lead to infection. Note: Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed if the infection is severe or recurrent. If the boil becomes very large, painful, or does not resolve with home treatment, incision and drainage by a healthcare professional may be necessary. Prevention: Maintain good personal hygiene. Wear loose-fitting clothes to reduce friction. Keep the skin moisturized to prevent cracking and bacterial entry.
