My son has been having this skin allergy or infection for the last 15 days, and I'm really worried because it seems to be getting worse instead of better. The pediatrician suggested using Permite ointment and Opox dry syrup for a week, but it hasn't helped at all. Can you please help me understand what's going on and what we should do next?

View allI'm a 20-year-old guy who's been dealing with alopecia for the past 2 years, and it's been really tough. I've tried all sorts of lotions and medicines, but nothing seems to work. I've given Ayurvedic, natural, and medical treatments a shot, but still no luck. Honestly, it's taking a toll on my mental health, and I'm avoiding social events because of it. Could you suggest the best way to tackle this problem? I would really appreciate your help.

I'm dealing with a lot of hair fall here in Bangalore and I'm wondering if it's because of the hard water. Should I try using alum or fitkari in the water before I wash my hair? Also, I came across something called Mintop Pro and I'm curious if it's helpful. Are there any side effects I should know about? Would it be a good idea to start using Mintop Pro?
don't use for long time

I'm experiencing hair fall after recovering from typhoid fever. What steps can I take to minimize this shedding? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Typhoid fever can cause hair loss due to the physical stress it puts on the body. To reduce hair fall after typhoid fever: *Nutrition and Supplements* 1. *Protein-rich diet*: Include protein-rich foods like fish, eggs, beans, and nuts to help rebuild hair follicles. 2. *Iron supplements*: Iron deficiency is common after typhoid fever. Consult your doctor about taking iron supplements. 3. *Vitamin B complex*: Vitamin B complex, especially B12, plays a crucial role in hair growth. Consider taking supplements or eating foods rich in vitamin B. 4. *Omega-3 fatty acids*: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil supplements, promote hair growth and reduce inflammation. *Hair Care* 1. *Gentle shampooing*: Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to minimize hair breakage. 2. *Reduce heat styling*: Avoid heat styling tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers, as they can damage hair and lead to breakage. 3. *Use a wide-tooth comb*: A wide-tooth comb is gentler on hair than regular combs or brushes, which can cause breakage. 4. *Avoid harsh chemical treatments*: Postpone chemical treatments like hair dyeing, perming, or straightening until your hair has fully recovered. *Additional Tips* 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from typhoid fever and promote hair growth. 2. *Reduce stress*: High stress levels can contribute to hair loss. Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 3. *Get enough sleep*: Adequate sleep is essential for hair growth and overall health. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Consult your doctor or a dermatologist for personalized advice on reducing hair fall after typhoid fever.
