Why Do I Have Hair Loss, Thinning, Dandruff?

I am 16 year old and I am suffering from hair thinning, hair loss and dandruff what do I do??

1 Answer
Dr. Deepak Jakhar

Answered on 8th July '24

You’re battling with hair thinning, hair loss, and dandruff at only 16. Stress, poor diet, or genetics can cause hair to get thin and fall out. Dandruff is often because of dry skin on your head or another condition that affects the scalp. Use a mild shampoo for dandruff and eat well for healthier hair growth. Speaking with a dermatologist may provide additional assistance.

I am a 18 year old male. I used my friends derma roller . And now I am anxious if I can get hiv from it although he doesn't have hiv. The roller was disinfected before I used it with spray alcohol.

Male | 18

It is safe to use a friend's derma roller after disinfection if it has been sprayed with alcohol. HIV is a sexual infection; sharing needles is one of the transmitter. A sterilized roller is thus no cause of fear or stress if someone else has got HIV. Such sterilized tools do not risk transmitting HIV.

Pigmentation is not treated quickly. It takes a while for treatments to work. But you can visit a dermatologist and discuss this. Based on your particular condition, he may suggest some alternative treatments that may work for you like chemical peels, laser treatments, topical creams etc. Hope this helps.

Salmon patches on her face from her birth so i m worried about and how its solve problem

Female | 3months

Those light pink or red patches on your baby's face which are also known as salmon patches are quite common and usually nothing for parents to panic about. They occur when small blood vessels are near the skin. No need for treatment as they usually disappear on their own by the time the child is 1 to 2 years. Simply keep the area clean and protect against direct sunlight.

Iam 20 years old female. I want to know about eyebrow hair falling. I loss upto about 8-10 eyebrow hair daily. Is it normal or not to loss eyebrow hair. This is happening for about 1-2 months. Iam also facing excessive hair loss but I want to know why my eyebrows hair is falling.

Female | 20

Experiencing a little bit of eyebrow hair loss is a common aspect of hair thinning as well as it happening in some other fiber(-producing) areas. The possible causes of this condition include the tension you are under, hormonal irregularities, or a lack of necessary nutrients. Onesigh of the difficulty may be because of false eyelashes. Daily shedding of a few is normal, but if it makes you anxious, all the way go through it. To have a healthy hair development, first of all, make sure that you provide your body with all the essential vitamins and minerals with the help of the balanced diet.

I have allergy (hives) so I have applied calamine lotion which doctor recommend but the allergy got worse

Female | 19

The­ lotion possibly irritated your skin further. Here­'s how to ease the discomfort: Stop using the­ lotion immediately. Gently wash affe­cted areas with mild soap and water. Apply an unsce­nted, gentle moisturize­r to hydrate and soothe irritated skin. Be­ vigilant about avoiding known allergens going forward.

I have a big red green bite on my bum cheek. Its getting bigger sore. And i am getting shortness of breath and joint pain

Female | 28

You are likely suffering from cellulitis, which is an infection. This can happen when bacteria enter the body through an injury or insect bite. The infection usually causes redness, swelling, and pain in the affected area. Besides these symptoms, you may also feel severe pain. If the infection spreads, it can lead to serious issues like shortness of breath and joint pain. It is crucial to get antibiotic treatment immediately to stop the infection.

My lip is itchy from past 3to 4 days. Why is it so

Female | 25

An itchy lip can be due to poor hydration, an allergic reaction or even a cold sore. It is recommended to see a dermatologist for a correct diagnosis and treatment choice. In due course, refrain from licking your lips and use petroleum jelly to moisturize your lips.
