I am 30 years old. I am a PCOD patient and have lots of facial hair as well as on chin and neck. I want to do laser hair removal. Please tell me the cost of full face hair removal and is it effective?
Female | 30
Laser hair removal is a very effective way to reduce unwanted facial hair. It works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle, which is why it is most effective on those with dark, coarse hair. It may require multiple treatments to achieve desired results, and many people find that laser hair removal is a permanent solution to their unwanted facial hair.
The cost of full face laser hair removal varies depending on the provider, location, and size of the area being treated.

Male | 25
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.

Dear Sir/Ma'am I am a student. I am having hair loss problem for 5 years. I once had hair treatment from a doctor, the doctor gave me some medicine, but it did not go well. And now I am suffering from hair loss again. I also have stomach problems. And I am continuing my stomach problem treatment. Please help me with your advice. Thank you for reading this request. Sincerely Ai Kham Gogoi
Male | 24
Typically, the level of hair loss might rise due to stress, maybe because of an imbalanced diet or any other medical factors. Furthermore, it can also stand to reason that stomach-related problems can be tied to dietary options than any underlying health issue. Moreover, please do not forget to eat a balanced diet, minimize stress, and drink a lot of water. It is always important to communicate with your dermatologist.

Treatment for syringoma either cream or oral
Female | 32
Syringomas can form tiny bumps around eyes. They normally don't cause trouble. Certain face creams with retinoids might fix them a bit. Medicine like isotretinoin can help too. However, these don't always remove syringomas fully. For better removal, procedures like lasers or minor surgery could work instead. You can contact a dermatologist for that.

Recently I have a insect bite n my face near eye area , and I think that insect release some fluid which is acidic in nature and it caused scare on my face after the wound repaired it seems white and black on surface how to treat this faster please .
Female | 26
You've had some trouble with that insect bite near your eye. The acidity of the insect's fluid might have caused the skin to scar. The skin can be either whitish or blackish. You can use aloe vera or vitamin E cream to treat it without leaving any scars. They are also useful in minimizing the visibility of the scars over time. Don't forget to rinse the area with water often and never itch it.

I am having severe hairfall. I have tried homeopathy and ashwagandha, but no results. What should I do??
Female | 23
Homeopathy may work for some people, but not necessarily everyone.
I will advice you to get your Trichoscpic examination done which will help in getting to the root cause of your problem. Persistent hair fall is a multifactorial condition which requires scalp lotions, some nutritional supplementation and some appropriate shampoos along with therapies. You may refer this page to find hair transplant in surat.

I am 28 years old and facing skin allergy from last 2 weeks. Sometimes my eyes and lips gets swelling. And got hives on skin.
Female | 28
You seem to be experiencing an allergy, causing skin rash, and swelling around the eyes and lips. Allergies are the body's defense system reaction to chemicals that the body has perceived as harmful, either through direct contact or ingestion. The most common causes are food, drugs, and some of the particles in the air. It might help you to recall what you consumed or what you did that was different from your usual routine before the symptoms began. If your symptoms persist or become worse, consult a dermatologist.

My penis has a lot smegma and I’m very concerned because it hurts and when I tried to be also hurts and it’s stressing me out
Male | 14
You might be infected with a disease called balanitis. This may be the result of a collection of smegma underneath the foreskin, which causes reddening, swelling, and pain. It is a must to carefully clean the penis using warm water and a mild soap. Do not utilize aggressive chemicals. Meanwhile, if the pain continues or becomes more severe, be certain to set an appointment with a dermatologist for a more detailed examination and receive the treatment.

Today in the morning I had a little mark like I was bitten by something one at the back of my hand the other near my elbow now both are really swollen and painful but they are not itchy as in the morning what could that be and what do I do cause I'm worried
Female | 18
You may be a victim of an insect or spider bite. In some cases, though, these bites can make a person swell and feel pain. Although it's not itchy right now, the reaction can be different in the future. To help, clean the bites gently with soap and water, apply a cold compress like a cool cloth, and take over-the-counter pain relievers for the discomfort. If the swelling doesn't go away or new symptoms appear, it's better to contact a dermatologist for advice.

How to remove blade cut mark
Male | 20
To avoid blade cut marks, a new wound should be kept clean and properly covered to minimize scars. When healed, apply scar treatment cream or silicon gel sheets regularly to reduce the appearance of scars. Do not expose the scar to sunlight because the UV rays darken it. For more severe or prominent scars it is necessary to refer them to the dermatologist for professional treatments such as laser therapy and microdermabrasion. For the situations with deep scarring, sometimes a cosmetic revisional surgery might be an option but it is always best to seek advice from a dermatologist on individual basis.

Female | 17
Usually, cold sores appear as red, swollen bumps on or around your lips. They can hurt a little and may have clear fluid inside them. The virus responsible for cold sores is known as herpes simplex. You could try using over-the-counter creams or ointments to make them heal quicker. Always wash your hands and avoid touching the sore so it doesn't spread.
