We have tried to brief on clinical treatments for hair loss below:
Medication: even if it's some hormonal disorder and not necessarily for genetic predisposition.
One treatment which doesn't require clinical prescription, and what we can safely suggest is - Minoxidil: which comes in liquid, foam and shampoo forms, it is to be applied on the scalp once everyday for women and twice regularly for men. It may take you few months 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 include scalp irritation and unwanted hair growth on the adjacent skin of the face as well as hands.
Hair transplant surgery: You won't be hospitalized, 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: limited 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 out with minoxidil, but if it doesn't works 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 city, and also, you can approach us anytime you need help!

I am experiencing some concerning symptoms around the genital area. There is significant redness on the head of the penis and on the skin when it is pulled back. Additionally, a large, raised bump that resembles a pus-filled lesion has appeared on the head of the penis. There is also an unpleasant smell that persists despite washing and maintaining hygiene. The area has small spots and pimples, and the overall appearance is quite inflamed and abnormal. I also feel a burning sensation and itching in the area, which have not improved with regular cleaning. I would appreciate your guidance on this. I am not very sexually active(once a month)

Male | 21

The redness, bumps, and horrible odor are the issues, and the burning and the itching bother you more than they should. Proper hygiene is a defense against the illness; however, self-treatment may not be effective. You should go to a dermatologist to be examined thoroughly and receive accurate tests. They can draw up a diagnostic and treatment plan that suits your condition and deals with the symptoms efficiently.

I am a 31 year old female and I have 2 white bumps down there in my area. They don't hurt and they are not itchy. They are tender to touch sometimes but that's about it. Could it possibly be razor bumps or pimples

Female | 31

I think you may have ingrown hairs there these are both two small white spots. This occurs following shaving when the hair grows back into the skin. The area may be tender when touched. Until they clear up, don’t shave over them, and try gently exfoliating your skin. If this doesn’t work or if you’re worried about anything else then please see a dermatologist.

According to what you mentioned, you may have developed cheek pain without any redness or feeling cold. This can a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia which causes sudden and severe facial pains. Make sure you rest, use warm moist clothes on your face then take over-the-counter painkillers. However, if it does not improve or gets worse then you need to see a doctor for further advice.

My 2yrs old is having rashes and black spots, can I give her emzoclox, the rashes normally comes and goes

Female | 2yrs

It's important to understand that rashes and dark spots can arise from various sources, such as allergies, irritation, or skin infections. While Emzoclox may help with certain bacterial infections, it is vital to have a pediatrician evaluate your child’s specific condition first. Observing whether the rashes have triggers like certain foods or activities can be helpful. In the meantime, keep the affected area clean and avoid using products that could worsen irritation.

I am sufferring from Cellulitis since February 2022. I was taking ayurvedic treatment initially. From end of June 2022 I started taking treatment from Shree Krishna Hospital. Improvement is there, but still leakage is there, kindly let me know what I should do, as since more than six years Dr. Pravin Shetty has stopped taking his fees from me, treating freely.

Female | 60

Redness, swelling, and at times, fluid leakage resulting from a skin infection make cellulitis-. The treatment is usually through antibiotics and proper wound care. However, you are not done with the drainage yet, so be sure to see your dermatologist. They can explore different options such as modifying your treatment plan or adding new treatments that can hasten recovery. Regular assessments are key to your care, so don't lose touch with Dr. Pravin Shetty right away or any other competent professional.

I am a 15 year old girl. I have a huge amount of red spots underneath my skin near the inner right thing and in my vaginal pubes. It has been spreading and ongoing for about three days now. And as of today it’s been feeling kinda itchy.

Female | 15

You could have a condition on your skin called folliculitis. This happens when bacteria infect hair follicles. The affected area may have red spots, itching, or tenderness. To relieve yourself from these signs, use warm compresses on the place and make sure it is clean. If this does not improve or if the fever develops then you need to see a dermatologist who will evaluate further and give treatment.

29 year old male, a hair got tied around penis and while attempting to remove it lacerated the middle of the glans before being removed. Resulting in a scar that looks like an open cut during arousal but seems to be closed while at rest. Happened two weeks ago. Didn't bleed. Didn't heal

Male | 29

During arousal, the scar that was formed may appear as a cut, but it is healing, and this process will soon pass. Scars are sometimes very difficult to heal and this may require a long time for a full recovery. You should maintain good hygiene in the area and avoid any more damage. In case there is a pain issue or symptoms of infection such as redness and warmth, which are very rare for such diseases, it is necessary to consult a dermatologist.

Small blisters on my penis glans ,it appeared two weeks ago. I consulted a skin specialist and applied a cream. After 5 days of treatment blister now looks like a round skin patch and new blisters appeared near to it. Am not feeling any itching or pain or any kind of discomfort because of it. As per doctor instruction I checked my blood glucose level and its 124. Is there anything to worry ... Help me

Male | 36

Round clusters and little blisters on the penis are probably symptoms of a herpes genitalia-like disease caused by a virus. This disease also leads to the appearance of new blisters, even after treatment. The grade of blood glucose that equates to 124 is a tad beyond normal, suggesting diabetes can be the case. Despite the absence of symptoms, visit your dermatologist to check and take care of it. Otherwise, unbearable pain or visual damage may become a result at a later stage.

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?

Female | 45

It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

I am woman age 22 acny on face

Female | 22

This is normal for your age. Acne happens when oil and dead cells clog hair follicles. This causes pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Try gentle cleansers, avoid oily products, and don't pick your skin. Wash your face regularly with mild soap. You can also visit a dermatologist.

I had gyno at 13 in both breasts,now I am 18 years old,one breast is totally recovered but other one is still assymmetrical,it's nipple so assymmetrical,but pain and hardness in nipple is no more,now my concern is have I not infected by Klinefelter syndrom,I am so worry

Male | 18

It's great to hear that you've seen improvement in one breast. Some asymmetry can be normal, especially during development. Gynecomastia, which you've experienced, often resolves on its own. Klinefelter syndrome involves other symptoms like reduced testosterone or fertility issues, which you haven't mentioned. Since you no longer have pain or hardness, that's a positive sign. Nevertheless, if you’re concerned about any remaining asymmetry or other symptoms, I recommend consulting a plastic surgeon for personalized advice and reassurance. They can provide a thorough evaluation to address any worries you may have.

Female | 17

It does sound like it could be a fungal infection, which is pretty common in these warm, moist areas of the body. Well, these infections thrive in such environments, causing symptoms like you're experiencing. To address this, it's essential to keep the area clean and dry. You can try using an antifungal cream available over-the-counter. Wearing loose-fitting clothes made of breathable fabrics can also help. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to see a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

Female | 8

A crack in the heel, arch, and ball of the feet can be painful. This can happen due to dry skin or standing for a long period. Make sure she wears the best comfortable shoes that she has. Apply a thick moisturizing cream daily to keep her feet soft and hydrated. Water is super important too. This will assist in stopping the cracks from coming back. Iif she still has the issue after some time, then see a dermatologist for more advice.

I am a 22 year old with suspected scabies. Have tried permethrin cream, malathion lotion and oral ivermectin. Have been very thorough with the instructions, however am still itchy and now red spots are appearing as opposed to the skin coloured burrows that I previously had. Do i still have scabies or something else?

Female | 22

It does not look like the scabies treatment has worked as it should. So you still have a rash and itching. Scabies can be quite challenging to remove completely at times. New red spots can mean a few things, such as a reaction to the treatment or another skin condition. To check it out, it is better to talk to the dermatologist for a deeper investigation as well as to discuss other possible treatments.

Skin redness without itching

Male | 20

If your skin turns red without feeling itchy, there might be a few causes. This redness can happen when your skin is sensitive to what touches it such as some fabrics or lotions. It may also result from temperature changes or stress. Use gentle fragrance-free products on your skin and keep it hydrated. Visit a dermatologist if the redness continues or gets worse.
