I've got some boils on my thighs and I've been taking amox capsules for them. Is that the right way to go about it, or should I be doing something else? What's the best way to treat these boils?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Taking Amox capsules for boils on your thighs may be incorrect without a proper diagnosis, as boils are typically caused by bacterial infections like Staphylococcus aureus, and Amox capsules are usually prescribed for specific bacterial infections; instead, try applying warm compresses to the affected area, keeping it clean with antibacterial soap, and seeking medical attention if the boil becomes severely painful, large, or accompanied by fever or pus.

View allI'm really struggling with ringworm on my stomach, both thighs, and face. I've tried so many medicines like Hydil, Allegra, Terbinaforce cream, and Nuforce GM cream, but nothing seems to be working. I'm feeling kinda lost and worried. Do you have any advice or ideas on what I could try next?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm really worried about my hair falling out a lot lately. It's been happening for a while, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Can you suggest any ways to help stop the hair fall or maybe some treatments that could help me get it under control?
To overcome hair fall problem, you can try using minoxidil solution applied directly on the scalp. Additionally, you can take biotin supplements 10,000 mcg once daily to promote hair growth. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid using harsh chemicals on your hair. Regular scalp massages can also help improve blood circulation to the hair follicles.

I'm using minoxidil to help with hair growth and I've been at it for about a month now under my doctor's guidance. But I've noticed that I'm getting flaky white dandruff on my scalp from using it regularly. Is it normal to get dandruff when using minoxidil? Also, what would be the best way to handle it? I've heard that washing with anti-dandruff shampoo every day might not be great for my hair. What do you suggest?
