My wife has molluscum contagiosum with around 30-40 bumps on her chin. The dermatologist first recommended a 2-week zinc tablet course, but it didn't help. Now they're suggesting surgical removal. We're hesitant about surgery is there any other treatment option that might work, or is surgery the best way to go? They mentioned removing each bump and applying medication, but we're worried about scarring or side effects.

Can homeopathy really cure herpes? I'm worried if this is just a scam for money or if there's some truth to it. Any information would help.
While some homeopathic remedies claim to treat herpes, there is no scientific evidence to support their effectiveness, and many experts consider these claims to be unsubstantiated and potentially fraudulent, as the US FDA and National Institutes of Health (NIH) have not approved any homeopathic remedies for herpes treatment.

I've been really struggling with some skin issues lately. My skin's been getting super oily, and I also have a sun tan that's not going away. On top of that, I'm losing hair, which is really concerning me. I've been taking Eslo 5 regularly. Could this possibly be affecting my hair and skin? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on and how I can fix it. Any advice would be appreciated!
Skin getting oily, sun tan, and hair fall can be due to various reasons. To address the oily skin, you can use a topical medication containing Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel once daily at night. For sun tan, you can use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, apply it 20 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every 2-3 hours. To manage hair fall, you can take Biotin supplements 10,000 mcg once daily. Since you are already taking Eslo 5, which contains Amlodipine for blood pressure management, it is important to continue it as prescribed by your doctor.
