It's highly possible that you may have had nutrition deficit or some health condition back then which is why you saw pre-mature grey hair ((and not age related grey hair)), and by the time new hair started growing out of it you became healthy. Or it could be fluctuating hormone and stress level too. If you lack a healthy lifestyle then get in touch with our doctors - Dietitian/Nutritionists in Mumbai, let us know if you prefer a different city!

Hello dear doctor, I had an accident like 10 days ago, my leg got burnt because it touched the silencer, the burnt area turned completely white, and day after day, it released blood, yellow liquid, and its fresh everyday, its not even healing, im applying ointment called Quench, but it just dries over it and nothing is helping, I can't even walk, I really need help on what to do, should I apply any other ointment? Leave it open? Or what?
Male | 16
It seems that the burn is rather extensive and does not heal well. I would suggest early consultation with a dermatologist or burn specialist. Do not use any more cream and let the wound dry. It is essential to keep the wound well cleaned, dressed and treated. Seek medical help at the earliest.

my friend literally woke up with a swollen right side of her face. she had experienced pain on her mouth. the dentist could find nothing wrong and prescribed an antibiotic with no results. her face remains swollen with no discomfot or mobility problems. what would have caused this.
Female | 54
Your friend might suffer from sialadenitis, an inflamed salivary gland condition. A blockage prevents smooth saliva flow, causing swelling and pain around the jaw. Since teeth weren't problematic, glands could be the culprit. Warm compresses and water intake might ease discomfort by promoting saliva flow. However, if swelling persists, visiting a dermatologist is advisable for assessment and potential treatment.

Hi I am taking esomeprazole, lipitor, lisinopril, citalopram and ropinerole. I want to know if it it safe to take anti sweat tablets. Thank you
Female | 59
Sweating is your body's natural way to cool down. Certain medications can increase sweat production as a side effect or be symptoms of underlying medical conditions. Anti-sweat tablets reduce sweat secretion but may interact with your current medications. It's crucial to consult your doctor for a safe solution. They can adjust your medications or suggest alternative treatments to address the root cause of your sweating. Always communicate openly with your doctor about any concerns or changes in your medication regimen to ensure your health is prioritized.

Genetics can play a role, and sometimes certain health conditions are involved. Solutions include using gentle hair products, avoiding excessive heat styling, and eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and proteins to promote growth. It's best to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and to identify any underlying causes. Remember, it's important to embrace your hair's natural qualities.

Hi doctor, My age is 22, I have a gray hair since 5 years. So, how to reverse my premature gray hair. Suggest me some medicines.
Male | 22
Gray hair may show up sooner than expected. This results when the body produces less melanin pigment. Stress, heredity, and certain health issues contribute. There's no magic cure for gray, but lifestyle changes could help maintain healthy hair. A balanced diet, stress management, and avoiding smoking make a difference. If concerned, consult a dermatologist about premature graying.

I got pimples even I try so many products still I didn't get any results even after eating sugar I get more pimples any treatment for acne?
Female | 22
You get pimples when the pores on your skin get blocked by oil and dead cells. An extra breakout might be a result of eating too much sugar. Softly washing your face every day could help relieve acne. Besides, say no to sweet stuff. Finally, use acne products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid as ingredients. All the same, you should know that seeing any changes may take a while. You can also visit a dermatologist for solutions to your acne.

Male | 19
Phimosis means the skin on the penis won't pull back. It can make it hard to pee or hurt when you have sex. It may happen if you get a yeast infection or other skin problems. A dermatologist can give you creams like steroids to help. Keeping under the skin clean helps too. But if it doesn't get better, you may need surgery.

I applied a lotion in my chest and also in upper legs but unfortunately it also get applied on my scrotum after my scrotum started itching, buring and next day it started peeling
Male | 18
The lotion triggered an irritation in your scrotum area, it seems. Itching, burning sensation, and peeling skin often indicate skin irritation. That delicate region's skin may have reacted adversely to the lotion's ingredients. As a treatment, use lukewarm water and mild soap to gently cleanse the affected area. Avoid applying that lotion there again. However, if symptoms linger, consult a dermatologist promptly.

I have a 14 year old daughter who has a had a itchy raised red puffy bump on her left shoulder the last two days. It happened in the middle of her basketball game. It has gotten worse from her bra strap and shirt rubbing against it. I want to know what it is and how to fix this mystery.
Female | 14
Looks like your daughter has a skin irritation that is contact dermatitis. One common type is contact dermatitis, which is caused by something rubbing against the skin and triggering redness, itching, and swelling. This thing might be her bra strap or shirt, which is the cause of the rash on her skin when it rubs against it while she is playing basketball, To make her feel better, try to use a soothing lotion or cream and let her put on clothes that are not tight enough to prevent rubbing as much as possible.

Female | 43
A dog bite wound can get infected. The rash around your January 20th bite is worrying. Redness, warmth, swelling, and pain signal infection. Dog mouths hold bacteria that enter wounds. Cleaning and covering the wound matters. But if the rash worsens or the fever develops, see a dermatologist promptly. Infections require medical treatment to heal properly.
