Hair loss regrowth treatment

Dermatology

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

We have tried to brief on clinical treatments for hair loss below:
Medication: if it's some hormonal disorder or genetic predisposition.
One treatment which doesn't require prescription, and what we can suggest is - Minoxidil: which comes in liquid, foam and shampoo forms, same is to be applied on the scalp skin once everyday for women and twice regularly for men. It might take a few months for you to be able to tell whether the treatment is working or not, and if it does then you can continue using the medicine to retain benefits. Possible side effects however include scalp irritation and unwanted hair growth on the adjacent skin of the face as well as hands.
Hair transplant surgery: While undergoing this procedure, a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon removes hair from that part of your head which has hair and transplants it to a balding region. Each patch of hair has one, few, or several hair strands. Sometimes a larger strip of skin containing multiple hair groupings is taken. You won't be hospitalized for this, but it is painful so you'll be given a sedation medicine. Possible risks you may run into bleeding, bruising, swelling and infection. You may need more than one surgery to get the desired effect. But if you hair loss was hereditary, then it will eventually progress despite this surgery.
Laser therapy: Not researched extensively but some studies have claimed that it can be beneficial.
Lifestyle fixes: such as shampoo/conditioner/oil with those ingredients which are specific to your hair and skin type, or diet changes and exercise schedule will be planned, or may be some effective hair spray.
You can start with minoxidil for now, but if it doesn't work then please approach a specialist, for your convenience, we are also linking our page which might help you out - Hair Loss Treatment doctors in Mumbai, do tell us if you require list based on a different region, and also, you can approach us anytime you have doubts!

For vitiligo problem please inform me details

Female | 60

Vitiligo is a skin infection that shows up as white regions on the skin. The main path to getting these is when the skin's melanocyte cells add color. Even though why the cells die is a mystery, for the time being, the immune system might be at fault. A cure for vitiligo doesn't exist, but with therapies such as light therapy or creams, patients can experience some relief. Remember to take care of your skin using sunblock as well. If the condition doesn't improve, please visit a dermatologist.

Acne can appear on various areas, such as the face, neck, back, and chest, often presenting as pimples, blackheads, or cysts.

How to tighten pore on face

Female | 28

Your face has tiny openings called pores. Sometimes, they seem bigger. Causes can be oily skin, sun hurt, or age. Keeping your face clean helps shrink them. Wash regularly with a gentle cleanser and products with salicylic acid to unclog pores. Use a moisturizer that won't block pores, keeping them smaller. The sun damages pores, making them look bigger. Protect with sunscreen daily. Diet and water can also improve skin appearance.

Hello doctor, I am 36 years old male and I have had mycosis fungoides for around 3-4 years. My staging concluded as 1A. I have not received any systemic chemotherapy, I have received only topical treatment with clobetasol and bexarotene creams and now my patches are mostly gone. I haven't had serious new patches in more than a year. I am about to get married and start a family. And my question is, can I have kids while having mycosis fungoides ? Would it increase the chances of my kids to have MF ?

Male | 36

Yes, you can have kids with mycosis fungoides. However, it is advised to discuss your plans with your dermatologist who can help guide you through the process. While there is no known risk of your children developing mycosis fungoides, it is important to monitor your children for any skin changes and to seek medical attention if any concerns arise.

I am 18 years old and I had to use minoxidil on my beard. I have baby hairs on my beard but they are not getting thick and are falling off.

Male | 18

It’s common for younger individuals using minoxidil to experience temporary shedding, as this can be part of the hair growth cycle. The fine hairs you notice may take time to become thicker. Ensuring proper usage and patient consistency can help with results. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet and managing stress levels can positively influence hair health. If you continue to have concerns or notice significant changes, seeking advice from a dermatologist is recommended to rule out any underlying issues and to discuss tailored options for your situation.

You may have dyshidrotic eczema. It looks like small blisters on hands, fingers, and feet. Irritants, allergies, or stress cause this condition. Though not itchy, blisters feel painful sometimes. Keep hands and feet cool and dry. Use mild products. Avoid triggers like certain soaps or foods. If it worsens, see a dermatologist.

Surgery was done on keloid on my back but it's not healing fast. What should I do to make it not to grow back

Male | 43

Keloids are raised, pink scars that can grow beyond the original wound area. They are caused by an excessive production of collagen during the healing process. To prevent their recurrence, you should keep the wound clean, use silicone gel sheets, and abstain from activities that might irritate the skin. If the keloid persists in causing problems, other treatment options like steroid injections or laser therapy can be considered. Ensure to follow up with a dermatologist to discuss what should be done next.

At night, I feel a lot of itching all over my body, especially in the private parts. There are also some white patches or small red spots in that area. The itching happens during the day too, but it becomes much worse at night, especially around the private area.

Male | 17

Itching with white patches and red spots could indicate a few things, like a fungal infection or even a skin irritation. It's good that you've noticed these symptoms, as they can help us figure out what's going on. For now, try to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid scratching to prevent any further irritation. It's best to have a chat with a gynecologist to get a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Female | 72

Itching all over the body with rashes, dark patches, and pigmentation could be due to several reasons including allergies, skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, and hormonal imbalances. I see you have used drugs but sometimes it is necessary for one to get a clear understanding for effective treatment. Therefore, I would advise that she gets referred to an expert such as an allergist or dermatologist who will conduct more tests maybe even skin biopsies or blood works so that they can be able to identify the cause exactly. After which they can then give her specific treatments meant for that condition which will help reduce the signs.

Male | 25

Staphylococcus aureus often leads to skin infections, boils, and even more serious problems such as bloodstream infections. It's caused by bacteria that may be hard to completely remove from the body. If the usual treatments like augmentin were ineffective in getting rid of the infection, vancomycin recommended by your friend is worth considering. Vancomycin is an antibiotic usually used as a last resort for persistent staph infections, especially those that do not respond to other antibiotics. When using vancomycin, it is important to follow your doctor's advice on dosage and treatment duration.

Male | 22

The symptoms you described, which include itching, ringworm-like sores, wet blisters, and red/black spots, are characteristic of an allergic reaction. Boils and raised skin on the penis, the waist, and the abdomen may also be linked. Never scratching is the way to go if you want to avoid extra irritation. A calming soothing lotion would be helpful. If the symptoms continue or worsen, it is important to go to the dermatologist for the correct diagnosis and treatment.

My name is Kali my problem is skin chulkani hoyeche.

Female | 30

I understand you're dealing with skin itching. Itching can occur when your skin becomes dry and rough, often due to not drinking enough water, using harsh soaps, or cold weather. To manage it, make sure to drink plenty of water, apply moisturizer gently, and avoid harsh soaps. Also, protect your skin from the cold by wearing gloves and scarves.
