I've been on Total Nano Leo for a week now, and I'm having this weird itching and burning around my outer anal area. Could the powder be causing this? What's up with that?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Could be due to a possible allergic reaction or irritation. I recommend stopping the powder and consulting a doctor. You can try using a topical cream like Preparation H to relieve the itching and burning sensation. Apply a small amount externally around the anal area twice a day for relief.

View allI was diagnosed with Jaundice back in July and it took about a month for me to recover. My doctor mentioned I could eat oily foods once I was better. But even months before the Jaundice, I started losing a lot of hair, and now it's really concerning. My hair used to be thick, but now I've lost about two-thirds of it and what's left is dry and brittle. After the illness, my hemoglobin is 10.8, and the doctor said it'd return to normal eventually, so no meds were suggested. I've moved back to Bangalore and can't ask my original doctor about this hair fall issue. Could Jaundice be causing me to lose my hair? How can I get my hair back to its normal state? Is it safe to take hair fall tablets now, especially with my body still recovering? I'm also noticing that my menstrual days have become painful since my illness, though the cycle's regular. Could all these changes be connected?
Jaundice itself doesn't directly cause balding, but the underlying conditions that led to jaundice, such as liver disease or hemolytic anemia, can contribute to hair loss. Given your history of jaundice and current hair loss, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, to rule out any underlying liver or blood-related conditions. Regarding hair loss treatment, your doctor may recommend: 1. Iron supplements: Given your low hemoglobin (10.8), iron supplements might help. 2. Vitamin B12 injections: Jaundice can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency, which may contribute to hair loss.

I'm dealing with seborrheic dermatitis for a few months now and got some worries. Is this something that can even be fully cured? Also, how long does treatment usually take? Should I be thinking about getting an HIV test because of this? And finally, when I go for a haircut, is there a high risk of picking up infections at the barbershop because of my condition?
1. Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic condition, but it can be managed and symptoms can be reduced with treatment and its totally curable also 2. Treatment duration varies, but significant improvement can be seen within 2-6 weeks with topical treatments, and 3-6 months with oral medications. 3. While seborrheic dermatitis can be more common in people with HIV, a diagnosis of seborrheic dermatitis does not necessarily warrant an HIV test, unless you have other risk factors or symptoms. 4. Seborrheic dermatitis is not contagious, and you cannot spread it to others or get infected through contact with contaminated skin or barber equipment.

I'm worried about the possibility of having sex with my husband while he's still being treated for scabies. He's only put on the cream twice, and we're noticing his skin starting to dry up in those spots. Is it okay for us to be intimate now, or should we wait a bit longer?
It's generally recommended to avoid intimate contact, including sex, until your husband has completed the full scabies treatment course, usually 2-3 applications of permethrin cream, 7-10 days apart, and has been symptom-free for at least 24-48 hours, to minimize the risk of transmission, as scabies mites can survive off the human host for up to 72 hours.
