I have gone through hair transplant surgery 4.5 months ago. I am suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia. As per the doctor, I am taking minoxidil and finastride on daily basis. However, my hair sheds while I apply minoxidil (10-15 hairs shed) and while I wash my head. Please suggest whether this is normal or should I consider any other treatment?

Hair fall is natural. As the lifecycle of hair has different stages.
- Telogen and exogen are shedding phases of hair cycle where we lose hair. 15 to 20% hair are shed in these phases, therefore it's natural.
- But when you lose more hair than routine, then its a matter of concern. Upto 30 to 40 hair per day is normal. Whatever you lose will grow back according to your hair cycle.
- If you are losing thin hair very frequently then it's alarming as well.
- After starting minoxidil hair fall increases. But that is normal and you will get those hair back because you are not losing them from the root.
Keep using minoxidil and finasteride it will help you.

Female | 21
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.

I applied undiluted dettol on my face [acne region (cheek and forehead) as it was bleeding] and forgot to wash it off. This later burnt my skin and now two months later theres a brownish patch which I am unable to get rid of regardless of how many scars removal cream and depigmenting creams I have used. Please help me recognise the problem with a solution for the same. Thank you.
Female | 16
Undiluted Dettol is said to cause burns and dark patches on the skin, especially the sensitive area of the face. The brownish skin spot that you have may be the result of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. To discolor the patch, avoid sun exposure by applying sunscreen, and think about visiting a dermatologist for chemical peels or laser therapy treatment.

My skin is very dull and i am having open pores near to the nose are on cheeks, skin texture is uneven.what can be possible reason for that
Female | 27
Dull, oily skin with large pores on the nose and cheeks is a common issue. This can result from excess oil production, genetics, or inadequate skin care. These factors often lead to rough patches and an uneven skin tone. To improve your skin, try using gentle cleansers, exfoliating regularly, and applying a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Additionally, staying hydrated is crucial. Open pores can get clogged with dirt and excess oil, but regular exfoliation can help keep them clear. Proper moisturizing prevents dryness without causing excess shine. With consistent care, smooth and evenly-toned skin is achievable.

Often, a cluster of boils on the buttock region can be attributed to bacteria or immune system dysfunction. A trip to see a dermatologist or infectious disease specialist is an important consideration when trying to figure out the root cause of your problem.

Small boils, along with fever, cough, and a tight abdomen, may indicate an infection or an allergic reaction. These symptoms can also be linked to viral infections or skin conditions. It is important to visit a dermatologist for skin issues to rule out any internal infections. They will guide you for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have a big mole on my neck that’s been there since birth. It makes me self conscious, and feels weird when I move it. How can I get it removed safely without going to a doctor, or what doctor can I go to for the least cost?
Female | 24
Take care when removing moles without the aid of a physician. If there is a large mole that changes shape or color, it may be necessary to have it examined by a dermatologist. These are doctors who specialize in skin and can provide a thorough evaluation. The best way to ensure that the mole is removed safely and inexpensively would be visiting a dermatologist.

Female | 16
It could be for many reasons, including hormones, stress, genetics and skin care products that can cause acne. It is recommended that you consult with dermatologist to assess your skin and determine the best treatment for your specific needs. In the meantime, maintain a gentle and consistent skincare routine, including cleansing your face twice daily with a mild cleanser and moisturizing with a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Avoid irritating ingredients such as alcohol and fragrances.

Skin problem full body pimples
Male | 23
You might have acne. Acne is a condition that causes pimples because hair follicles are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Common signs are redness, swelling and pus-filled lumps. Reasons can be different like hormonal changes, bacteria or genetics. To clear up acne, wash the skin gently, don’t squeeze the spots and use over-the-counter treatments. If it doesn’t get better, see a dermatologist for help.

Skin problem redness or pimples
Female | 46
Your skin problem might mean redness or pimples. Clogged pores, germs, or irritants could cause it. Use a mild cleanser to help. Don't touch your face too much. Look for salicylic acid in products. Stress and diet also matter sometimes. Drink lots of water. Try relaxing. Every person's skin reacts differently. If it doesn't improve, see a dermatologist.

I have a fungal infection on my laps and my private part how can it be cured?
Female | 19
A fungal infection seems present between your legs and private parts. Warm, moist environments allow fungal infections to occur. Itching, redness, and rashes are common symptoms. Antifungal cream from your pharmacist can treat it. Keeping the area clean and dry is crucial. Avoid tight clothing too. Consult a dermatologist if it persists.

Female | 25
You may have a skin condition called folliculitis which can cause itching and tiny red bumps on your skin. This happens when the follicles become inflamed caused by the growth of hairs. Try washing with soft soap, avoiding tight clothes, and keeping your skin hydrated. If it doesn't itching, see a dermatologist for more advice.

Hello I am Jawed, I am 32 years old, height is 170cm and weight is 60 KG. I had acne on my face 10 to 11 years ago, at that time I visited a doctor and they prescribed Betamethasone Injection and it was injecting in every acne on my face separately, the effects was so fast because the acne disappeared after two to three hours after injection. This treatment co tinues 2 months, one every week with that doctor, as the effects were temporary for individual acnes on face and as well the effect was fast, after that I became addicted to it and I was injecting this particular injection to my face myself and it goes for maybe more then 6 months and then I stopped it, about 2 to 3 months later after stopping it some side effects apeared to my skin, my skin (different areas such as face-lips, eyes, hands-shoulders, legs-tighs, neck, under arms, even the private parts) become puffy, itchy, red when I wake up from sleep, and ut continues for 3 to 4 hours and then disappears, this problem is from more then 9 years sometimes it disappears for months and sometimes it comes back, whenever I take anti-allergic tablets such as cetrizine it is all ok and when I stop taking it, it appears again, simetimes the effects are so strong mean specially when it take my eysles the puffy eyes are so heavy and it become normal after 24 to 36 hours. I didn't notice any particular thing that I am allergic to that in these 9 years. I will be very greatful if your advice helps me from this bad situation. King Regards
Male | 32
Dealing with skin issues can be tough. The puffy, itchy, red skin you mentioned might be contact dermatitis. This happens when your skin is irritated by something it touches. For you, it seems the long-term Betamethasone Injection use could have triggered it. To manage it, avoid triggers - certain products or fabrics that bother your skin. Moisturize daily and use a gentle face wash. If needed, over-the-counter antihistamines may ease symptoms. Visit a dermatologist if the problems persist.

Your neck and arms feel itchy. Itchiness happens sometimes. It could be dry skin. Maybe bug bites. Or even a reaction to something you touched. To help, use a gentle moisturizer. Take a lukewarm shower. Don't scratch. If it gets worse, see a dermatologist.
