Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the HCM.
I think the lethargy, sleep problem, lack of concentration are related to anxiety disorder.
I think you should consult a psychiatrist at the earliest.
For the time being, my recommendations are-
1. Relaxation session of 30 min. Everyday.
2. Avoid late night sleep and have dinner at least 1 hr. before sleep.
3. Exercise for at least 1 hr per day.
4. High fiber diet. Plenty of oral fluid.
You may need to have antianxiety medications based on your psychiatrist's advice.
Please have the following blood tests done-
Fasting TSH, fasting plasma glucose
Regarding the sore, I think it may be due to fungal infection or an infected sebaceous cyst or acne, or folliculitis or allergy.
You should change the oil or shampoo or lotion, if any, at the earliest. Clean your hair with Ketoconazole shampoo after testing it in the skin of the back at the earliest.
if the symptom persists, you should consult a local dermatologist.
For any further questions, please write back to me directly.
Regards,
Dr. Kaushik
