My friend is experiencing a lot of hair fall and seems to be going bald. I'm really curious and a bit worried. Is there a way to actually regrow hair on a bald head?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While it may be challenging to grow hair on a completely bald head, there are some treatment options available that may help stimulate hair growth. One common medication used for male pattern baldness is Minoxidil, which is available in brands like Rogaine. It is typically applied to the scalp twice daily in a 5% solution for men. Another option is Finasteride, which is available in brands like Propecia. It is taken orally in a 1mg dose once daily. These medications may help slow down hair loss and promote some degree of hair regrowth in certain individuals. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your friend's specific situation.

View allI have this boil on my right thigh that's been bothering me for the last three days. The skin around it is really red and it's pretty painful. What kind of antibiotic should I consider for this? I'm a bit worried.
For the boil on your thigh, along with the redness and pain, you can take an antibiotic like Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (brand name Augmentin) 625mg twice a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can also apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area to help with the healing process.

I'm dealing with itching around my pubic hair area that's been going on for two weeks now. It's becoming more persistent and I'm noticing my skin is getting dry there too. There's no doctor nearby and I'm not sure what steps to take. Could you advise me on what I should do?
To alleviate itching and dry skin in the pubic hair area, try applying over-the-counter antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole, calamine lotion, or aloe vera gel, and maintain good hygiene, drying thoroughly after bathing, while seeking medical attention from dermatologist as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
