I've been really struggling with some skin issues lately. My skin's been getting super oily, and I also have a sun tan that's not going away. On top of that, I'm losing hair, which is really concerning me. I've been taking Eslo 5 regularly. Could this possibly be affecting my hair and skin? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on and how I can fix it. Any advice would be appreciated!

Skin getting oily, sun tan, and hair fall can be due to various reasons. To address the oily skin, you can use a topical medication containing Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel once daily at night. For sun tan, you can use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, apply it 20 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every 2-3 hours. To manage hair fall, you can take Biotin supplements 10,000 mcg once daily. Since you are already taking Eslo 5, which contains Amlodipine for blood pressure management, it is important to continue it as prescribed by your doctor.

I've been worried about a leech bite I got on a trek back in late September. It was just a small bite on my left leg, but instead of drying up like the ones on my right foot, it seems to be getting bigger and a bit darker. It's been over two months, and I'm not sure if it's turning into an infection because I feel a slight pain when I press on it. I've been using turmeric and coconut oil, but it doesn't seem to help much. Should I be concerned? Is there something else I should do to treat it?
The leech bite on your left leg that has not completely dried out even after two months and is slowly getting bigger and blacker may indeed be infected. The slight pain when you press on it also suggests inflammation. I recommend cleaning the area with antiseptic solution and applying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antibiotic like Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching or picking at the bite. If the infection does not improve or if you develop fever or worsening symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
