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.

Is it okay to use dermocalm lotion for pimples? I got viral fever a couple of days ago, and now I have a lot of pimples on my back because of the heat. Could you let me know if applying dermocalm would help with this?

It's not effective towards acne but your complaint is clear stating post fever rashes for such this cream would work,if not visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection on my penis and FourDerm cream helped clear it up in just a few days, but now I have about 23 spots left. One of them is a noticeably bigger red spot. Are these spots part of the healing process, or should I be worried? How long might it take for my skin to look normal again?

Atleast 4-6 weeks..

I've been using Fexo 180 for a couple of days now, but I'm still having really itchy and irritated skin. It's kind of frustrating, and honestly, I just want the itchiness to stop. I'm a 25-year-old female. Any advice on what I can do about this?

Persistent skin irritation and itching despite taking Fexo 180 may indicate that the medication is not effectively controlling your symptoms. You can try switching to another antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily or Loratadine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help relieve the itching. If the symptoms continue, it is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
