I've been losing a lot of hair recently and even noticed some bald spots. My doctor, Nimesh Shah, prescribed me MBSON SL 1500mg to take every morning for the past 15 days. I'm really hoping this will help with the hair fall. Can you tell if this will actually work for me?

I accidentally pulled out a tiny broken piece from my toenail and now there's some light redness and swelling on the side of my right toenail. I've been soaking my feet in warm water as a warm compress, but Im wondering if its okay to use Soframycin as an ointment to help with this. Does that sound like a good idea, or should I be doing something else?
