Monsoon Skin: Fungal Infections, Acne, and Hair Fall
Uttar Pradesh monsoons bring ringworm, pityriasis versicolor, and sweaty acne. Share towels and you share fungus. Keep skin dry in folds, change damp clothes, and do not self-medicate with steroid creams from a chemist — they thin skin and spread infection.
Hair shedding after fever or a crash diet is usually telogen effluvium. It recovers in months if iron and thyroid are addressed. Persistent patterned loss needs trichology, not oil massages alone.
