I've recently gotten over jaundice, but now I'm dealing with some pretty bad hair loss, especially around the front. Is it normal to lose hair like this after having jaundice, and is there a chance my hair might grow back? What steps can I take to prevent or manage this hair fall?

To help with hair regrowth and prevent further hair fall, you can consider taking biotin supplements to support hair growth. Additionally, using minoxidil solution on the affected areas can also help promote hair regrowth. It is important to maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and to avoid excessive heat styling or chemical treatments on your hair. You may also consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.

I'm dealing with some dry and peeling skin on my scrotum, and it seems to be spreading. I've been using ketoconazole cream, but it isn't really helping. What could be going on here, and should I try a different treatment or see a doctor?

Lulican cream for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
