My wife's hair is falling out really fast, and I'm getting pretty worried. She had typhoid back in MayI'm not sure if that could be linked to her hair loss? A doctor told us to try a sulphate-free shampoo, but it doesn't seem to be making any difference. Any idea what we should do next?

I've got a small lump on my cheek that popped up a few hours after I woke up. It's lighter than my normal skin tone, and I can't figure out what it is or how it happened. It's really noticeable and I'm a bit worried. What could this be?

That could be due to insect bite, don't try to squeeze it, visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management
