Allergic reactions to antibiotics are a common issue, resulting in itching or welts on the body. It is essential to stop using the antibiotic at once and see a doctor. An allergist or an immunologist is going to be able to diagnose and manage the allergy.

Hi doctor, My age is 22, I have a gray hair since 5 years. So, how to reverse my premature gray hair. Suggest me some medicines.

Male | 22

Gray hair may show up sooner than expected. This results when the body produces less melanin pigment. Stress, heredity, and certain health issues contribute. There's no magic cure for gray, but lifestyle changes could help maintain healthy hair. A balanced diet, stress management, and avoiding smoking make a difference. If concerned, consult a dermatologist about premature graying.

Acne spots on my face How to treat them ?

Female | 17

These spots occur when your skin's pores are blocked by oil and dead skin cells. This may result from hormonal changes, stress, or the use of skincare products that contain oils. For remedy, try cleansing your face twice a day with a mild cleanser, and additionally, using products that contain ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Also, avoid squeezing or picking at the spots as it may make the situation worse. You could just go to a dermatologist and receive more opinions.

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 am a 24 year old female. I have been having these recurring pimples on my vagina for 10years now. My vaginal walls are scaly white and are often itchy. I don't have a weird discharge save for when am ovulating, a clear odorless discharge. I have never had sex because of my condition. I am also overweight with a BMI of 26.

Female | 24

You might have a medical condition known as lichen sclerosis. The main signs are the reappearance of small pimples, the vaginal walls that become white and scaly, and the sensation of itchiness. Obesity and sexual abstinence maybe your risk factors. A dermatologist should be consulted first for an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment. They may recommend some creams or medications to help controlling the symptoms and avoid complications.

Female | 32

If you have a bump on your earlobe after getting a piercing, it might not hurt but can appear pink with a dark or black spot in the middle. These are often called piercing bumps and are usually caused by irritation or infection. Try cleaning it gently with saline solution and avoid touching or changing the piercing too much. If it doesn't improve or starts to hurt, please make an appointment to see a dermatologist soon for further assistance.

I have purple spots on my arm but i feel any pain

Male | 20

Red-purple dots may appear on your arm. They don't hurt. These come from tiny blood vessels bursting close to the skin's surface. This condition is called purpura. Purpura can happen due to small injuries or randomly. Most cases go away without treatment. However, if more spots show up, or other symptoms occur, or if purpura persists, you should see a dermatologist. This can rule out underlying health issues causing these spots.

Stretch marks are common and appear when the skin is stretched significantly. They can be purple, red, or silver, depending on how long they’ve been there. Causes include rapid growth, weight changes, and pregnancy. Solutions include using moisturizers, and creams, and maintaining a healthy weight. While they usually fade over time, they may not completely disappear.

Lumps that develop near the penis may be caused by several factors. They may be herpes if they're either tender or similar to blisters. Moreover, among other signs, you might also experience some irritation in the groin. Herpes is an infectious virus that can be transmitted from one individual to another through sexual intercourse. However, to make sure, it is better to visit your healthcare provider and undergo the necessary tests. Proper medication and expert advice are necessary for the prevention and care of it.

Hi my name is Robin. I am really interested in PRP. I would like to know about the cost for PRP for hair and what kind of medicine and topical solution do you offer with PRP SESSIONS ? Thank you

Male | 28

PRP therapies are an excellent choice when done after proper examination. What is more important than the cost is to know that the examinations actually give a clear indication for it, and without which it's impossible to tell how many sessions will actually be required.

A two and half months course of prp and laser therapies costs approximately 20 thousand rupees.

Single session can cost up to 3500 Rs.
You may connect with any dermatologist for hair transplant in surat.

I had an operation on back side of my head in which the area was infected with an infection called carbuncle and it was cut to remove it and then the skin there regenerated soon, but its 3 years and the hair there hasn't grown yet. the diameter of that are is approx 5cm. Is there any other way to get hair back without hair transplant?

Male | 14

I recommend that you see a dermatologist for this issue. The scar tissue that resulted from the surgery might have injured the hair follicles, thus depriving them of any regrowth. Unfortunately, there is no scientifically based treatment to re-grow hair in scar tissue except by means of a transplant. Some topical treatments may be prescribed by a dermatologist

For any injury in that area, it's crucial to observe symptoms like pain, swelling, or discharge. Common causes include friction, infections, or skin conditions.

Keloids are bumpy scars that can appear after getting piercings. They may look like a bump and be itchy or painful. For at-home treatment, silicone gel sheets or pressure earrings can be applied to the area to help with flattening it. These keloids can be sure of your keloid's size. Remember to clean the piercing well to avoid infection. If it doesn't get better, you might have to visit a dermatologist.

My child is 2 years old she is small acne/bumps with head opened/broken red type.

Female | 2 years

It sounds like your child is experiencing some minor skin irritation, which could be caused by various factors such as allergies, heat, or even insect bites. These bumps often appear red and may look inflamed. To soothe the area, keep the skin clean and dry. Applying a gentle moisturizer might help reduce irritation. It’s important to avoid any harsh products. If the bumps persist, worsen, or are accompanied by other symptoms like fever, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.

Iam 20 years old female. I want to know why I loss upto about 8-10 eyebrows hair daily. Is eyebrow hair falling is normal or not. What should I do to stop it?

Female | 20

Some hair on the eyebrows falls out each day as part of the natural hair growth cycle, which involves transitions through the growth, resting, and slipping phases. Causes such as anxiety, nutrient deficiencies, uneven hormone levels, or too much plucking might cause hair to fall out excessively. In order to foster the development of healthy hair, consider eating a nutrient-rich diet, drinking water, and not using products that can harm your hair such as perming and coloring. If the hair vasculature starts to thin or you get areas, or the hair loss remains, it is best to see a medical professional.
