Eating eggs does not directly cause acne for most people. Acne is primarily influenced by factors like hormones, genetics, and skin care habits rather than specific foods. However, some individuals might notice that certain foods, including eggs, seem to worsen their acne, possibly due to personal sensitivities or allergies.

Here are a few key points to consider:

  1. Hormonal changes during adolescence can increase oil production in the skin, leading to acne.
  2. Dietary impact on acne varies; while some studies suggest high-glycemic foods or dairy might influence acne, eggs are not commonly linked.
  3. Individual reactions differ; if you suspect eggs worsen your skin, you might try eliminating them for a few weeks to see if there’s improvement.
  4. Maintaining a balanced diet, good skin hygiene, and consulting a dermatologist if acne is persistent or severe is important.

If you have concerns about your skin or diet, a healthcare professional can provide personalized advice and treatment options tailored to your needs.

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.

I've noticed that I lose about 20 hairs every day after I take a bath and when I pull on them a bit. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal part of hair shedding? It's been on my mind lately, and I just want to make sure everything's okay.
