I've recently discovered a lump under the skin on my mons pubis. It's not really painful at all, but it does hurt a bit when I touch it. Should I be concerned about this? What could it possibly be?

The lump you are describing could be a swollen lymph node, an ingrown hair, or a cyst. To help reduce any inflammation or pain, you can try using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. If the lump persists or becomes more painful, it is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I recently started experiencing a warm sensation on my left foot's dorsal side, and it comes and goes really quickly. It just started happening after I cleaned my bathroom with hypochlorite. I've never had this feeling until I did the cleaning, and it was my first time doing it myself. Could the chemical exposure be causing this? I'm a bit worried, and Id really like to understand what might be going on.

I'm on Sebifine 250mg for about a week now and need to continue it for the next two weeks. I'm wondering if it's okay to get the COVID vaccine, either Covishield or Covaxin, during this treatment. Is there any interaction I should worry about, or is it safe to proceed with the vaccination?

I've been experiencing rapid hair loss for the past two months. About six months ago, I had dengue and since then, I haven't used any medication for my hair. Also, I'm dealing with pimples on my face. I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Can you suggest anything?

I understand your concern about rapid hair fall and pimples. Hair Fall After Dengue Fever 1. Telogen Effluvium: Dengue fever can cause Telogen Effluvium, a condition where hair enters the resting phase and falls out after a few months. 2. Nutritional Deficiencies: Dengue fever can lead to nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which can contribute to hair loss. 3. Hormonal Imbalance: Dengue fever can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to hair loss. Pimples and Hair Fall Connection 1. Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal fluctuations can contribute to both pimples and hair loss. 2. Stress: Stress can exacerbate both pimples and hair loss. 3. Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, such as zinc, biotin, or vitamin B, can contribute to both pimples and hair loss.
