My mom, who's 55, got a pimple on her neck last month. The doctor recommended a Mantoux test, and from the results, they mentioned she might have skin TB. The thing is, except for that pimple, she doesn't have any other symptoms of TB. I'm wondering if just one Mantoux test is really enough to diagnose TB, or should we be looking into more tests? And also, is skin TB something that's curable? Would love some guidance on this.

I'm really wondering how I can trust that these Refollium capsules are actually safe for my health. And, can you genuinely guarantee that they will help my hair regrow within 30 days after starting to use them?

Refollium capsule contains biotin, folic acid, and other vitamins that are beneficial for hair health. However, it is important to note that individual results may vary and it may not guarantee hair regrowth within 30 days. If you are considering trying Refollium capsule, the recommended dosage is 1 capsule daily with a glass of water. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle for overall hair health.

I'm trying to find a qualified surgeon to remove a mole located close to my right eye. It's been bothering me for a while, and I'm a bit worried about the procedure, especially since it's so near to my eye. Can you recommend someone who specializes in this kind of surgery, or should I be asking for a specific type of specialist? Any advice on what I should consider before going through with this would be really helpful.

For mole removal near the eye, consider consulting a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon specializing in eyelid surgery, who has expertise in removing moles from sensitive areas with minimal scarring. They will assess the mole and recommend the best removal method, which may include surgical excision, shaving, or laser treatment. Be sure to discuss your concerns, the procedure, and post-operative care with your chosen surgeon.

I'm experiencing a recurring ringworm-like infection on the tip of my penis that tends to appear after having sex with my wife, even though we're using a condom. Could this be an allergic reaction to the condom? I usually use Candid B ointment, and it seems to help for a bit, but then the issue comes back. What could be causing this, and how can I prevent it from happening again?
