It is crucial to consult a gynecologist promptly for examination and treatment. Neglecting these issues could lead to complications.

Hypertrophic Acne scar on both sides nose only ...
Male | 25
You seem to have hypertrophic acne scars on both sides of your nose. These raised, bumpy scars happen when too much collagen forms during healing. Treatments like laser therapy or corticosteroid injections can help flatten and soften them. However, you must protect your skin from the sun, as sunlight makes scars more noticeable.

I’m having underarm problems, they’re dark and I want laser treatment for it.
Female | 21
Laser treatment for dark underarms typically involves the use of laser technology to target and break down excess pigmentation in the skin. The process is known as laser skin lightening or laser skin rejuvenation. During the procedure, the laser emits light that is absorbed by the melanin in the skin, helping to reduce pigmentation and promote a more even skin tone. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results. It's crucial to consult with a dermatologist or a qualified skincare professional to assess your specific needs, skin type, and eligibility for the treatment.

I'm 28 years and suffering from PCOD. I have thick hair in chin, neck and chest. I usually use the epilator to remove the hairs but after 7-10 days, it regrows back. Can you please suggest ways to rid of it permanently?
Female | 28
• Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) is caused due to production of immature or partially mature eggs by the ovaries in response to poor lifestyle, obesity, stress and hormonal balance.
• Excessive hair growth in the face, chest and back is associated with imbalance in the male hormone called Testosterone. Other symptoms associated include menstrual irregularity, acne, obesity and insulin resistance.
• Treating the underlying condition which is PCOD will help you get rid of the excessive hair growth.
• Medicine such as Clomifene is recommended for treatment as it encourages monthly release of egg from the ovaries and Metformin is prescribed to reduce the insulin resistance.
Lifestyle changes include:
Dietary Changes –
Optimum diet includes a range of foods from many food categories, including healthy carbohydrates like vegetables and fruits, lean meats like chicken, fish, and high fibre grains.
Foods with a low glycemic index enable the body to release insulin slowly and gradually, allowing your body to utilise food as energy rather than store it as fat. Fiber-rich foods also aid with blood sugar regulation.
Avoid refined carbohydrates, which are found in processed meals such as white flour, rice, potatoes, and sugar. Sugary beverages, such as soda and juice, should also be avoided.
Maintain Healthy weight –
Weight loss should be about half to 1 kg per week for 6 months, with the other method based on the amount of weight lost.
Avoid crash diets since they deprive your body of essential vitamins, carbs, proteins, and minerals.
When you go on a crash diet, your body will actually destroy muscle tissue to supply enough energy for your brain to operate.
Exercise regularly –
Aids in the fight against obesity by burning calories and increasing muscle mass, both of which reduce insulin resistance. Exercise can also help decrease cholesterol and other hormone levels, such as testosterone.
Physical activity is also vital. Moderate amounts of physical exercise for 30 to 45 minutes per day, 3 to 5 days per week, should be encouraged at first.
Consult your Gynecologists for starting with your treatment and take the aid of a nutritionist in order to design a customized diet plan.

Female | 22
Different factors like allergies or harsh ingredients might cause hair loss. Your scalp needs time to recover. For now, switch back to your old shampoo. Use a gentle conditioner too. Natural oils like coconut or almond can nourish hair and scalp. Be gentle when brushing or styling to avoid damage. If hair keeps falling out for weeks, consult a dermatologist.

Hi doc, I have an added areola around my nipples it's not dark in color it's just a light brownish thing with some little hairs that are growing, I went on my periods fully, but they came early because of the emergency pill I used. I then took two pregnancy tests after seeing the change in my breasts and they were all negative I'm curious now what could cause the change
Female | 24
The emergency pill can cause hormonal changes, and this might result in breast changes such as an extra areola that is light brown with some hairs. Even if the pregnancy tests are negative, there could still be hormonal fluctuations leading to variations in breasts. Most likely, it is nothing serious and will return to normal soon. Watch out for it but if you are worried about anything then feel free to ask a doctor for advice.
