I am 21 year old female... extreme hair fall is there from last 1 month....what should I have to do

Female | 21

You are dealing with a problem of a lot of hair falling out, which can be one of those things that worry you. Stress, poor nutrition, or hormonal changes are common causes of your age. It's crucial to consume a healthy and balanced diet packed with vitamins and minerals. Try relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, guided imagery, and yoga to manage stress. Gently using hair products and not tying hairstyles tightly can also be beneficial.

What happened if I accidentally swallow 3 pouches of cool lip? What are medthods to prevent this?

Male | 30

Swallowing three of those cool lip pouches could be harmful. The pouches contain chemicals that may cause stomachaches, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. Make sure such products are always kept away from children and animals. If someone does this, have them drink lots of water to dilute what they gulped down and call Poison Control right away.

I was having balanitis one year back and got treated but later that year me and my girlfriend both got diagnosed with HPV. Now I am is getting cracked foreskin. Due to that it's getting pain whenever gets stretched. Also the skin around the anal area is loosing and looks pinkish without pain.

Male | 28

According to your symptoms, a fungal infection or an irritation might be the reason behind it. The cracked foreskin could result from either the infection or the dryness. The pinkish skin around the anal area might be related. Hygiene is the first thing that must be done to make this area stay clean and dry. Antifungal cream or simple moisturizer may be required. Keep away from strong soaps and wear loose clothes. Drink plenty of liquids and eat a balanced diet to aid the natural healing process.

i have hyperhidrosis. please help

Male | 15

Hyperhidrosis is a condition when you perspire a lot more than normal. It can occur on your hands, feet, under your armpits, or even all over your body. It could be the result of overactive sweat glands or triggered by anxiety, heat, or spicy food. Besides that, there are several things you can do to manage it such as antiperspirants, medications, Botox injections, or in severe cases, surgery.

I have acne problem. My dermatologist suggested me Acnilite soap but now it's not available. So please suggest me alternative to that

Female | 21

Acne is common, causing pimples and oily skin. Hair follicles ge­t blocked with oil and dead skin cells. You can try soap with salicylic acid or be­nzoyl peroxide. These­ ingredients unplug pores and re­duce acne. Gently wash your face­, avoid harsh scrubbing.

Skin atrophy is the thinning of the skin and it can happen for different reasons like aging, steroid abuse, or some medical conditions. Skin atrophy is the major issue and it is necessary to use gentle lotions and creams to keep your skin moisturized to solve it. Refrain from harsh chemicals and cover your skin from the sun. Eating a balanced meal full of vitamins and minerals can also help your skin. Always bear in mind that the major reason for taking good care of the skin is for the overall well-being of the body.

I am 23 year old male, i have tinea versicolor from years. Till now I haven't taken any oral medical or any cream. How to cure it? Its from my childhood days. Location of tinea: only back( upper back left side) WHITE PATCHES Area: one palm size. It neither increases nor decreases. No other symptoms. Please guide

Male | 23

Tinea versicolor can be treated with antifungal creams. Please apply it to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. If you don't see any improvement, please try oral antifungal. Also, keep the area dry and clean and avoid wearing tight clothes as this can make the affected area sweaty. If the problem does not go away still, please consult a doctor for the same.

Female | 25

As per your symptoms it would appear that you are suffering from acne vulgaris. This condition may also lead to pimples, acne and dryness on the face. This may also be associated with the dandruff and hair fall. I suggest that you consult a dermatologist who will offer the right diagnosis and treatment protocol.
