I've got this burn on my right hand from spilling hot water a while back. I've been using silverkind ointment as the doctor suggested, but now I'm seeing these red pigments pop up and there's this constant itching. Is this normal, or should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the silver sulfadiazine in the Silverkind ointment. I recommend stopping the ointment immediately and washing the affected area with mild soap and water. You can apply a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream to reduce inflammation and itching. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about the side effects of using keraboost. If I decide to stop taking it, will it make my hair fall out even more? I'm looking for some advice on what to expect.
Keraboost is a hair growth supplement that contains biotin, zinc, and other vitamins and minerals. Some common side effects of Keraboost may include gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea or diarrhea. In rare cases, allergic reactions like rash or itching may occur. If you stop consuming Keraboost, it is unlikely to directly cause an increase in hair fall. However, if Keraboost was helping to improve the health of your hair and you stop taking it, you may notice a decrease in hair quality over time. It's important to maintain a balanced diet and good hair care routine even if you stop taking the supplement.
