I'm facing hair loss and baldness

Dermatology

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

If your concern isn't that severe yet, then we would suggest that you start out with Minoxidil, it is an over the counter drug which comes in the form of liquid, foam and shampoo, it is to be applied on the scalp once everyday for women and twice regularly for men. It will take months for you to be able to tell whether the treatment is yielding results or not, and if it does then you can continue using the medicine to retain benefits. Possible side effects include scalp irritation and hair growth on unwanted places such as the adjacent skin of your face and/or hands. If this doesn't works then dermatologists would have stronger medicated treatments & better lifestyle hacks, and will eventually progress to hair transplant surgery. You can visit dermatologists and get tests done to see if you have any genetic or hormonal condition which is causing balding, if so, then instead of over the counter drug treatment you could immediately proceed with dermatologist prescribed treatment.

Female | 31

You may be dealing with a cold sore that’s popped up on your top lip, making it hurt and itch. That’s probably because of a virus called herpes simplex. Acyclovir is a good choice for getting some relief from this. Just use it like they tell you to. Doing this can help you heal better faster and help lessen the signs and symptoms.

Helo, my child has painful swelling close to the external ear.

Female | Emem

There are a few reasons why this swelling could be happening. One common cause is an infection, like an ear infection or even a skin infection. Sometimes, insect bites or even an allergic reaction can lead to swelling in that area. It's essential to have it checked out by a doctor to determine the exact cause. In the meantime, you can apply a warm compress to help with the pain and swelling. I recommend making an appointment with your pediatrician as soon as you can so they can provide the appropriate treatment.

how to remove drk black spot on face

Male | 58

Dark black spots on the face can get there because of sunburns, patches left by acne, or even hormone illness. Although they are sometimes totally harmless, most people do feel shy when looking at them in the mirror. Using gentle exfoliants like glycolic acid, applying precautions like using sunscreen daily, and getting treatments like laser therapy or chemical peels from a dermatologist can help lighten these spots over time.

I am an 39 year old lady I am having dark acne , my chin is so black I am having black heads and white heads my skin is getting to dull . How these all problems believe my face? Hope you can help me

Female | 39

This could be because you have blackheads and whiteheads. They can be the ones that dull your skin. Acne is caused by the build-up of clogged pores, too much oil, and bacteria. Washing your face with a gentle cleanser, not squeezing the pimples, and using non-comedogenic skincare products that won't clog pores are some ways to help. Visit a dermatologist for more tips.

Mam My penis has been burning since last night. I had put an insecticide in my pocket and scratched myself. It was fine for the whole day. The burning sensation started at night.

Male | 22

It sounds like you may be experiencing a reaction to the insecticide, especially if you scratched the area. Symptoms like burning can occur due to skin irritation or an allergic response. I recommend rinsing the affected area gently with lukewarm water and using a mild soap. Applying a soothing cream may help alleviate discomfort. However, if the burning persists, or worsens, or if you notice any unusual changes, it's important to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation. They can provide appropriate treatment and ensure there are no serious underlying issues.

I want glow on my face I have using Himalaya alovera moisturizer from 6months and ponds powder on my face every day I need glow on my face doctor

Female | 19

Himalaya aloe vera moisturizer and Ponds powder are good, but sometimes our skin needs extra care to glow. A dull complexion can result from not drinking enough water, poor diet, or lack of sleep. Start by drinking more water, eating fruits and vegetables, and getting enough rest. You can also try using a gentle exfoliating scrub once a week to remove dead skin cells and reveal a fresh glow.

Female | 20

Long-term use of this steroid cream should be undergone with caution because it may result in some negative effects e.g. skin thinning and/or infections. The use of the cream should be halted gradually. Cutting the dose of the cream immediately may lead to the onset of the withdrawal symptoms. This calls for consulting a dermatologist.

I am having a fissured tongue and fissures in some parts of my cheeks too . I used plain yogurt for 3-4 days and the fissures were almost nil but after a week it seems like the fissures are back . It is getting hard to eat food and even my stomach feels upset.

Male | 43

You are going through a medical condition termed oral fissures, that appear on your tongue and inside your mouth. These cracks could be caused by various things such as dry mouth, infections, or lack of proper diet. Eating plain yogurt might have temporarily stopped them from appearing, but not to bring them back, make sure you drink water, eat soft food, and don't eat spicy or acidic foods. If the fissures still appear, visit a dentist/dermatologist for the necessary checks.

Some common causes of ear discoloration can be excessive sunlight, hormone modifications, or genetic conditions. It would be wise to have an appointment with the dermatologist so that a careful evaluation and diagnosis can be done. Sunlight exposure and sunscreen should be good enough to give suitable treatment options like topical creams or laser therapy to lighten the pigmentation.

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.
