Hi, I'm a 17-year-old teenager and I have started balding, my doctors say it's because it's in my genes. I'm currently residing in London. I plan to get a hair transplant in the next few months in Pune (hometown). I am Experiencing Level 1 or Level 2 baldness. Could you please suggest to me any good clinics and how long does a treatment usually take so that I can plan my trip accordingly?

Answered by Pankaj Kamble

Hello,

  • Basically, the ideal age for hair transplant in India is 25 years and above. As you are still 17 years old, it is not advisable to undergo a hair transplant. The pattern of hair loss becomes stable at the age of 25.
     
  • As you have stated, you are facing hereditary hair loss which occurs when you have inherited a gene of pattern hair loss from either of your parents. Also, as you mentioned that the level of your baldness is 1 or 2, so if you undergo hair transplant surgery right now, it is highly possible that you may face hair loss again. In addition, for the baldness level of 1 or 2, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is the best therapy, which is a non-surgical treatment for hair loss.
     
  • Also, 1 session of hair transplant is needed for the baldness of level 2. But, after examining your scalp and hair, the doctor will suggest the best-suited treatment of hair loss to you.

My daughter is 10 year old and she got allergic it's like water ball it's spreading on legs so what is the best treatment for that.

Female | 10

Your daughter may have red hives, itching, and raised bumps on the skin. Often hives are elevated because of allergens like the diverse range of food, insects, or specified materials. Antihistamine drugs such as Benadryl can be used to help relieve the symptoms of itching and swelling. Check again to ensure no food or other substances have caused the allergy, and if it spreads or worsens, seek medical attention.

I think I may have the STD/STI virus called Herpes. There are tiny little pink bumps that have been on my penis for a while now.

Male | 23

It is really important to keep monitoring and watching any changes occurring in your body. These small pink pimples that you see might be due to Herpes. Having sores, blisters, and itching are the common outcomes when you get an infection. A virus caused by herpes simplex is spread by the transmission of proteins from the infected source to the recipient's body. But the only certain way till the moment it is still unconfirmed is to get tested by a professional health worker.

I don't know if it's jock itch because I sweat alot in that area or its am STI because I am sexually active

Male | 24

Either a jock itch or an STI can cause groin itching. Jock itch results from sweat and friction, leading to redness, itching, and rashes. An STI may have similar symptoms but is related to unprotected sex. Use antifungal creams for jock itch and practice safe sex to prevent STIs. Maintaining good hygiene is also important.

Hydroquinone for skin lightening

Male | 18

Let me give you the lowdown on hydroquinone: it’s a common ingredient found in skin lightening products. This is because it works by reducing melanin in the skin. So if you have dark spots such as age or sun spots, using hydroquinone could help fade them away. However, don’t forget that you must be cautious not to misuse it since this can cause some undesired effects. As a rule, always follow directions given by the manufacturer when using any cosmetic product and also watch out for any allergic reactions.

I have recently had scrotum exploration survey 32 hours ago and was wondering how long before it can get wet and would it be okay to smoke cannabis. Also i have been prescribed to take 3 co-amoxiclav a day for 14 days, what other pain killers can i use.

Male | 18

It is suggested that a person waits at least 48 hours after they have explored their scrotum before getting it wet. This is to prevent infections. In addition, one should refrain from smoking marijuana while they are recovering to facilitate healing. If you are still experiencing pain, you could take paracetamol or ibuprofen alongside co-amoxiclav.

For this type of condition, one should consult a dermatologist. The rash may involve several causes, which include allergic reactions and skin infections. In case you have already had STI testing and treatment, the rash should be diagnosed by a specialist.
