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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. If you are losing thin hair very frequently then it's alarming as well.
  4. 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.

You can refer this page to find doctors - Dermatologists in India, or you can consult me as well anytime you feel that the state of your hair is seeing no improvement.

Hi sir, My self prashanth faceing problem fungal infection leg last finger getting tomuch of pain

Male | 37

Hi Prashant. Fungal infection of toe nail is a common in people who are in professions where there feet remain moist or have to wear shoes for long period of time. You need to keep your feet dry. Change socks twice a day. Use powder on feet before putting on socks. 

For the fungal infection already there You need a long course of around 6 months of antifungal ointment.  As u are having too much pain there may be superinfection by a bacteria. You would also need to use a topical antibiotic ointment for 7-10 days.

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.

I’m 16 years old I have acne from last 8-12months I have shown to 2 dermatologist but it doesn’t work properly I have acne spots on chest & shoulders too What should I do? & have oily face

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.

Patient has Skin Allergy on whole body.

Female | 18

When the whole body has an allergic reaction, you may notice symptoms like redness, itching, and sometimes small bumps or blisters. Common causes include foods, plants, or even the material of your clothes. Identify and avoid the trigger. Antihistamines can help calm the symptoms.

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
