I've recently recovered from a viral fever, but now I'm dealing with a lot of acne popping up on my face. It's really frustrating and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this?

I'm currently being treated for tuberculosis and have been on medication for about two months. Initially, I was on Akurit 4 for around 1.5 months, but it gave me really bad joint pain, so my doctor switched me to AKT 3. Lately, I've been facing significant hair fall, and I'm worried I might lose all my hair soon. I've also noticed some white strands popping up. Could you please advise on what I can do about this situation?

Yes are the probable side effects of Anti Tubercular drugs,the joint pains could be Rheumatoid Arthritis also no need to worry everything is reversible once the treatment is doen,have a regular check with your doctor consume protien rich diet.

I'm dealing with chickenpox and the scabs have dried, but they haven't started falling off yet. I scratched a few of the blisters earlier and I'm really worried they'll turn into scars. Should I wait until I'm fully recovered to see a dermatologist, or do you think I should make an appointment sooner to prevent any marks?

You can wait until the scabs have fallen off and the skin has fully healed before consulting a dermatologist. However, if you've scratched the blisters, it's best to consult a dermatologist sooner to minimize the risk of scarring. They can assess the affected areas and provide guidance on: 1. Topical treatments to reduce inflammation and promote healing. 2. Scar prevention and management strategies. Schedule an appointment within the next 7-10 days to ensure timely intervention.
