I am 50 year old female suffering from lichen planopilaris. I have tried using topical steroids but is not helping with hair loss and I can see more patches appearing.I need help urgently to improve my scalp condition. Thanks

Answered on 22nd Aug '24
Lichen planopilaris is a skin disease that causes the hair follicles on the scalp to be damaged, leading to hair loss and patches on the scalp. Topical steroids are not always effective. You may need other treatments like oral medications or injections to help the existing condition. I recommend you to a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I have face pigmentation and black spots would like to treat it
Male | 28
Facial hyperpigmentation may be due to several causes including tan, agespots, melasma, allergy to skin and hair products, association with underlying medical ailments, deficiencies, hormonal imbalance etc. Knowing the underlying cause and diagnosis are essential before the treatment is commenced. Treatments include topical creams, oral medications, chemical peels, qs yag laser treatment along with good skin care regimen and sun protection with broad spectrum sunscreen. So please consult a qualified dermatologist.

My dad is 54 year old and have the starting stage of herpes zoster we have used ointment cream for couple of days but haven't got relief. What should we do now ?
Male | 54
Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is caused by the same virus as chickenpox. It can lead to a rash, blisters, and pain. Since the ointment hasn't been effective, I recommend your dad see a dermatologist for further evaluation and possibly a prescription to help with the pain and healing.

My daughter name is clarisha leon.she has an genetic issue called Ectodermal dispalasiya .. could you please suggest me an possible treatment for it???
Female | 6
Ectodermal dysplasia can interfere with the normal development of teeth, hair, sweat glands, and nails. There is no treatment for this condition, but some medicines can help relieve the symptoms. Your daughter may need dental care, a prosthetic denture, and other services as she grows up. It is necessary to cooperate closely with a dentist to devise the treatment plan that best meets her needs.

Good day sir , my wife is feeling pain since one week now where they injected her , the spot is hot and little strong, and it's paining her serious ,I have use ice block and close up , but the spot is still hot and little stronger
Female | 20
Your wife is likely to have an infection at the injection site. The symptoms such as heat, pain, and redness are caused when the bacteria get in. The area needs to be cleaned gently and the healthcare provider must be consulted. Antibiotics may be recommended to eliminate the infection. Do not use ice or cover it up without advice as it may aggravate the problem.

I have rednesses, swelling and itching around my penis
Male | 29
There might be a skin irritation near your penis. This could be due to sweating, using strong soaps, or wearing tight clothes. The redness, swelling, and itchiness are the main symptoms of this. To make it better, first keep the area clean and dry, secondly, wear loose-fitting clothes, and thirdly, avoid using harsh chemicals. If it doesn't improve after a week, it's better to have it checked out by a dermatologist.

Hy good evening sir... My name is Rahif and I am currently working in saudi arabia... I am facing mouth irritation like small bumps under right side of my tounge ,they come and go away but not permanently from last some months also from last some days I am facing oral thrush,can you guide me please..
Male | 27
The little bumps under your tongue that appear and disappear might be swollen taste buds, which don’t pose any danger. Conversely, oral thrush is a result of yeast infection. This is quite widespread and can be cured with antifungal drugs that should be prescribed by a physician. Do not forget to brush your teeth regularly and to follow a balanced diet.

Female | 26
Allergies that occur are redness, itchiness, and material on the skin. By the way, doing an antihistamine is the best way to deal with the situation. Stop using the gel at once. Use a mild cleanser to wash your face gently. Use an odorless, non-irritating moisturizer to keep the skin moist. Contact a dermatologist if the skin problems continue or get worse.

Hello,I have fungal infection plz suggest me tab, Thanks
Male | 27
A majority of fungal infections are common and are the result of the proliferation of certain types of fungi on the skin. Symptoms range from redness and itching to flaking skin. The treatment you'd want to prescribe mainly consists of antifungal medications in the form of tablets and some cases, creams. Always keep the affected area clean and dry. If your condition doesn't get better, it is vital to consult a dermatologist.

I am 43 years old woman, I have had fungal infection on my stomach since a long time. I tried using lulibet ointment, but is now having the same problem backside and it is spreading. Can you suggest best medicine, which can cure in 2days?
Female | 43
You need to have consultation for fungal infection, it's not recommended that you try to cure it at home. And sorry to break it to you but this will need a long term treatment and not just 2 days. You can visit your preferred dermatologist in Navi Mumbai, but please get it checked.

Dear sir last two years I am suffering from skin irritate and red colour round patch on all over my body and head also. I am 25 years old. I already use medicine such as . ELICASAL cream and Methotrexate tab but no cure well. I request you sir please give me medicine composition that I purchased anywhere.
Male | 25
You may have eczema. It makes your skin turn red, — it also spreads. What works for one person may not work for another so maybe you should try putting on some lotion that has ceramides or colloidal oatmeal in it to calm down the itching. Ask the dermatologist about methotrexate if it’s bad enough—but there are other things they could give instead like corticosteroids or phototherapy treatments too.

Underarms infection Erythrasma
Female | 22
Erythrasma is an underarm infection. Red or brown patches appear on the skin. The skin might feel itchy or uncomfortable. A certain bacteria causes the infection. It thrives in warm, moist areas like the armpits. To treat Erythrasma, keep the affected area dry. Use antibiotic creams as directed. Practice good hygiene by bathing regularly. These steps can help clear up the infection quickly and effectively.

I suggest you to talk to your doctor about your mother's condition. Based on your mother's condition, he may suggest some different medicine or treatment. And for blisters, making certain lifestyle changes like eating healthy food, taking rest and avoiding certain triggers can prove helpful.

Can my skin color still return after not taking iron supplements for a year
Female | 19
Yes, definitely! Starting iron supplementation can help improve your skin color. Symptoms of low iron, like pallor and fatigue, can show up in your body. Most iron deficiency is due to not getting enough iron in your diet. A balanced diet should include iron-rich foods like spinach and meat. Seek advice from a healthcare professional for suitable recommendations.

from 1 week i have swelling and blisters on my penis and some sores ,Not much pain, just occasional burning and itching.please tell me what should i do in this situation
Male | 24
You may have a common virus known as genital herpes. They can cause redness, blisters, sores, burning, and itching. The most crucial thing is to abstain from sexual relationships until you talk to a doctor at a hospital or a clinic. As before, they will give the patients antiviral medication to control the symptoms and to stop the onset of the outbreaks in the future. It is important to first visit a dermatologist to verify the illness and be prepared for the treatment.

Persistent Sweating in hand palm
Female | 21
Excessive palm sweating happens. Sometimes it comes from stress or hot weather. Sometimes, a medical issue causes it. Some people sweat more than others; that's okay. Using hand antiperspirants helps. Also, you could ask a dermatologist about treatments.

Female | 18
Hair loss can be frustrating, and it’s a common issue that many people experience. There are several reasons, including stress, diet, genetics, and certain medical conditions. If water quality isn't the cause, it's important to consider your diet. Reducing stress, using gentle shampoos, and making dietary adjustments may help. However, if hair loss persists, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist who can evaluate underlying health issues.
