I've been noticing more grey hair lately and it's starting to worry me. Is there a particular reason this might be happening, and is it something I should be concerned about medically? What can I do to manage or potentially reverse it?

To address premature grey hair, consider a multi-faceted approach: maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins B12, D, and E, copper, and iron; reduce stress through meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises; avoid excessive heat styling, smoking, and harsh chemical hair treatments; and explore natural remedies like amla oil, coconut oil, and henna, while consulting a dermatologist or trichologist for personalized guidance.

I was prescribed Halox S solution to use before bed and then shampoo it out the next morning. However, it's just a 30ml bottle, so I'm wondering if I should be diluting the solution or using it differently to make it last longer?

No, continue same treatment as advised by the dermatologist.

I've got a bit of a dilemma here. When I was a kid, I came down with typhoid, and my doctor had me take roxithromycin. Not long after, I noticed a little white spot on my skin and ever since then, I've avoided that medication. Now, I'm down with fever, cough, and a cold, and another doctor has prescribed me roxid 150. I'm really worried about taking it because of my past experience. Do you think it's safe for me to take, or should I consider an alternative? Would love some guidance here.

Roxid 150 is also a form of Roxithromycin, so it may not be suitable for you if you had a reaction to it in the past. An alternative antibiotic that can be considered for your current symptoms of fever, cough, and cold is Azithromycin. You can take Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

I'm dealing with a constant itching and burning sensation between my legs, especially around my testis and anus. It's been going on for a couple of months now. I've tried a few things like Quard cream, surfazsn, and even consulted a doctor who suggested Ritch cream and levoctrizen, but nothing has helped. I also visited AIIMS Jodhpur where they recommended candid b, Fluconazole tablets, and powder, yet I still haven't found any relief. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Candid-B) for local application twice a day, Fluconazole tablet 150mg once a day for 7 days, and Fluconazole powder for dusting in the affected areas. This combination can help treat fungal infections effectively. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage and duration for optimal results
