How Can I Treat Hair Loss When Minoxidil Isn't Effective?
I am having hairloss for 1 year minoxidil doesnot work for me

Answered on 23rd May '24
Hair loss is one of the most common conditions since minoxidil is often used as a medication to cope with this problem. Therefore, if it does not work for you, then your primary route of action would be to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

My brother's Pranav is suffering from heavy hairfall . He is losing his hair at both sides. He is giving his jee mains exam ,so stress is obvious..Also his diet is home cooked food only. Please suggest what to do..Because at early age, he is feeling under confident for hairloss
Male | 18
It's understandable to feel concerned about hair loss, especially during stressful periods. Factors such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal changes can contribute to this issue. Encourage your brother to maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those that promote hair health like biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Practices such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness techniques can also help manage stress. While these steps may be beneficial, it's important to seek guidance from a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized recommendations.

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.

I am 34 yrs old female and I have acne and acne marks problem on my face - recently my face has been very dry and acne is coming also I have tight white pores issue which is making my skin look very dull and uneven.
Female | 34
As you are 34 years old, there might be some hormonal issues leading to acne. Consult local dermatologist for treatment who might prescribe you some topical antibiotics benzoyl peroxide or daplin or oral drugs depending upon the situation. It is advisable to use moisturizers, particularly water-based that do not uproot the pores because medication usage might result in dryness and little irritation. Your Skin will be much better after the treatment for Acne.

Hello, I am suffering from Alopecia areta at my sideburns. It started around 2006, by now I've lost them completely. A doctor from Solapur had injected in that area twice, still, hair didn't grow. Kindly suggest what can be a guaranteed solution at a reasonable price?
These are your treatment options for hair loss: Biotin tablets, PRP treatment, minoxidil lotion.
I wouldn't recommend hair weaving.
But virtual platform has restrictions, thus I would further encourage you to reach out to me, or other specialists and this page will help - Dermatologists.

Best sunscreen for oily skin and acne prone skin for teenagers girls
Female | 16
Taking care of oily, acne-prone skin is a priority for many teenage girls. Sunscreen plays a vital role in skin protection. Choose oil-free and non-comedogenic sunscreens. These won't clog pores or make your skin greasy. Look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide ingredients. They are gentle. Sunscreen prevents skin damage and premature aging. Establish a daily sunscreen habit for healthy skin.

I am 24 yr old female. I used a cream on my face for 2 days.. as a result a lot of redness came out from my face. Plz suggest any medicine...
Female | Anjali jha
It sounds like you might be experiencing a reaction to the cream, which can cause inflammation and redness. This may occur due to irritation or an allergic response to one of the ingredients. To soothe your skin, consider using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and avoid harsh products for a few days. Applying cool compresses can also help reduce inflammation. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s advisable to consult a dermatologist for appropriate evaluation and tailored treatment.

Full body red pimple and very Itching
Male | 19
Itchy red spots on your skin might be hives! They are caused by the release of histamine, often due to allergies or stress. An antihistamine can help provide relief. However, if the hives persist for more than a few days or worsen, see a dermatologist. Your body might need more than medication.

There is a red lump that looks like a boil near my vaginal area specifically bikini line. It hurts. What could this be
Female | 22
You might have an abscess or infected hair follicle lying on your waist area. This is a scenario that happens quite often when a person gets an irritation caused by friction or shaving of the skin. I strongly suggest consulting with a gynecologist or a dermatologist for the definitive diagnosis and the right treatment.

My doctor prescribed me a sylicylic acid and glycolic acid facewash I have dry and pimple skin I have used this product and it clear my skin but after some time I again got pimples
Female | 27
The salicylic and glycolic acid facewash cleared pimples at first, but they returned later. These acids sometimes dry out the skin too much. This causes more oil production, leading to pimples again. Instead, use a gentle, moisturizing face wash. Be sure to moisturize properly. This keeps skin balanced, hydrated, and prevents more pimple problems.

Male | 18
To ease your symptoms, for instance, ensure that your hands and feet are adequately protected from the cold with gloves and thick socks. Besides, your hands and feet can be moisturized regularly, which can further help. In the case that these symptoms persist or become worse, it is a good idea to seek advice from a healthcare professional who can offer you a comprehensive and customized approach. However, your comfort and health are of prime importance, and therefore the best support for your situation is from a dermatologist.

Female | 27
You may have contact dermatitis, an issue due to wearing shoes for extended periods. Red spots, bumps, pain, and sensitivity characterize this condition. Wearing comfortable footwear may help. Also, apply a mild moisturizer to soothe your foot. If it persists, consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Sir, I want to ask about peeling oil. Does extra strong yellow peeling oil really peel the skin???
Female | 24
This product is effective in removing the skin, yet it is extremely important to be considerate. Using strong peeling oils can cause redness, burning, and even damage to the skin. These products work by peeling off the top layer of the skin, which tends to improve skin appearance, but their wrong application can cause great trouble to the user. The best way is to consult a dermatologist before using those products to prevent side effects.

I got burn with sulfuric acid in my left hand middle finger, i wash it with colder than room temperature water to several times. But it's hurt so much,its like burning. Because sunday all nearly clinics are closed. So what to do.
Male | 25
It can cause burns and pain by touching the skin. Cold water makes it cold. Then take Ibuprofen or other painkiller plus cover it tightly with a bandage after wrapping it with moist and cool dressing.

I am 18 year old and have pimples for around 5 years I have taken several medications but everything stops working after some time it also makes in destress sometimes i don't have very severe acne can i take accutane treatment to get permanent solution from it.
Female | 18
Seems like you have been fighting acne for this period already and it hasn’t been easy. What brings about them are blocked pores plus germs Isotretinoin alternatively known as Accutane is a strong drug usually saved for serious cases of acne. It can be a permanent solution for certain individuals. The best thing is your kind of acne is not severe therefore before you think about this drug there are other forms of treatment that you need to discuss with your dermatologist.

I am a 39 year old woman and am having an issue with my skin on my chin for the last 2 weeks. After friction from making out with someone new. He did not have a beard. Maybe slight stubble but really not noticeable. My skin became raw and I put Vaseline on it and neosporin. After about a week acne started appearing. I changed my regimen to a salicylic acid ointment and moisturizer. It seems to help a bit but not a lot. My skin is less raw but still splotchy and red with acne. I have not ever struggled with skin issues. Should I keep up the acne treatment? Should I do something else? It peels and is uncomfortable (it stings with the ointment but once it dries it doesn’t hurt but it does bother me). I’m traveling in Brazil now but am from the US. Any help appreciated before I head home! I plan to see a dermatologist PA when I get back.
Female | 39
Your skin seems irritated by friction. The rawness, redness, and acne result from that. Using salicylic acid ointment helps acne. Continue applying it. Gently wash your skin, moisturize too. Consult a dermatologist for guidance.

It seems that you might be experiencing some alarming symptoms that could have a lot of different reasons such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or lifestyle changes. Usual symptoms are fatigue, mood swings, or physical discomfort. To manage these, however, it is crucial to consume a well-balanced diet, to stay moisturized, and to participate in activities like yoga or meditation as methods of stress release. However, it is really crucial that you visit a qualified health professional in discussing your specific symptoms. They are the ones who can offer a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate guidance that is truly fit for your individual needs.
