How long until minoxidil improves hair thinning?
Hello , I'm facing diffuse thinning in my hair for the past one year my temples are so thin and my crown is also thin and overall volume of the hair is low I've been taking minoxidil for 3months I haven't seen any results how long does it take and should I start taking finasteride

Answered on 24th Sept '24
Thinning hair can be due to several factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and health conditions. Minoxidil takes around four to six months to start working so be patient. If you are thinking of using finasteride, it is a good idea to talk to your dermatologist first and find out if it is the right option for you.

I have a lump between 1-2 inches below my left ear, where my jawline meets my neck. Is this serious, or likely just a lipid deposit?
Male | 17
You have a lump below your left ear where your jaw meets your neck. This could be a swollen lymph node, often due to infections, or a lipoma, which is a harmless fatty lump. If it's not painful or growing quickly, it's usually not a serious issue. However, it's best to see a dermatologist to rule out any problems.

How to reduce age spots on face?
Age spots are seen in people above 40 years, are larger brown/ black /grey flat patches on face and hands on exposed areas. No treatment is required, if they are multiple and patient doesn't mind them. Sunscreens prescribed by the dermatologist have to be used on face and exposed areas.

can in take pistonor 2 while taking centrizine
Female | 26
Taking Pistonor 2 alongside Centrizine raises the odds of feeling sleepy and dizzy. These meds make you drowsy. Driving or handling machinery becomes risky. Always consult your doctor before mixing drugs. You'll avoid unsafe outcomes. !

Female | 23
For whiteheads, you can use retinoid cream or gel. And for large pores, exfoliating scrub or a clay mask can be helpful as they help reduce the size of pores. Moisturizers and sunscreen( atleast 30 SPF) can also be useful to keep your skin healthy.

Sir so can I take dose of Metronidazole In a day to improve my Daily routine. I have already asked question about my Changed colour of my p**o
Male | 21
Stool colour can change because of different reasons such as infections or change in diet. Therefore, before taking Metronidazole, it’s crucial to establish the specific cause of colour change. It can be dangerous to take medicine when you don’t know what has caused the situation. First, talk to a gastroenterologist for good advice.

Am I balding or not? Please help
Male | 16
It is hard to diagnose your balding without a professional examination. If you are worried about hair loss, you should visit a dermatologist who is a specialist in hairs loss problems. They can analyze your condition and give you optimal care.

I am a student and suffering from severe hair fall. I'm 22 yrs old. I am facing this problem since last year. I want treatment for hairfall. Could you suggest useful treatment of it.
Male | 22
The reason for hair fall could be vitamin deficiency, hormonal, dandruff or stress. Once we determine, oral multivitamins for hair fall can be given for 4 months along with local hair serum with proteins and multimineral. Go low on parlor activities as coloring, blow dry. Treat dandruff with Exizol shampoo. For detailed treatment please visit dermatologist near you.

Hello! I'd like to consult on a medication called Doxycycline I took 2 doses wrongly by accident (2 pills 2 times a day instead of 1 pill 2 times a day) Should I wait 24 hours and take the next dose in the morning? or should I take my next dose now? also, could I check the effectiveness of doxycycline? (I have taken doxycycline before and I'm concerned it might not be effective) Thank you!
Male | 24
It's important to use medicines the right way if you want them to work well. Too much doxycycline might give you a stomach ache, make you feel sick, or throw up. If you have taken 2 doses at once, just skip that particular time and take your next dose when it is due. Even after this drug may still be effective but not in the correct manner as before; so always consult with your doctor if doubtful about its efficacy.

I have this razor bumps that has refused to go I ve used ketoconazole cream but still no results
Female | 21
At times, ingrown hairs cause little red bumps which can be annoying. I know that ketoconazole cream works great for some skin problems but I’m not sure if it would help with razor bumps. Maybe try using a mild exfoliating scrub to get rid of these pesky little bumps. Do not shave over them until they have cleared up! You might want to see a dermatologist who can give you some tailored advice if this doesn’t work.

I had toenail torn off now a little black dot on skin toe is painful
Female | 50
It is very common to see these symptoms if you have undergone an episode of toenails being torn off. This is generally due to subungual haematoma. The foot infection can be prevented by visiting a podiatrist or a specialist for treatment.

As the lump on your neck is a crucial concern, a doctor should be consulted for its evaluation. This abnormality may be the symptom of a wide range of causes from a common infection to a benign growth.

I have taken vaccine for dog scratch D0 and D3 in May 6th 2024 andMay 9 th 2024,today my cat scratch my hand again. Should I take the vaccine again.
Female | 21
If your cat has scratched you recently, you must know that the dog scratch vaccine does not prevent scratches from cats or other animals. You received the dog scratch vaccine in May but it will not protect you from cat scratches. If you see any scratch site symptoms, redness, swelling, or warmth, especially if it worsens, go to a dermatologist. They may suggest an alternative treatment plan based on your particular situation.
