postpartum hair fall problem
I am suffering from a postpartum hair fall issue. What should I do?

Dermatologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Up to 50% of new moms suffer from normal postpartum hair loss due to such hormonal shifts. It typically spikes around 4-5 months and subsides in a period between six to twelve months. Pay attention to general health, softer hair washing and scalp massage. If hair loss is heavy, prolonged, or associated with scalp problems then it’s advised to see a dermatologist. You are not the only one, and your hair will likely be back to normal!

Rash on right leg and testicles
Male | 57
A rash is a type of skin condition characterized by red, bumpy, or itchy skin. Sometimes, it may be the result of an allergic reaction, irritants, infections, or even certain medical conditions. To treat the rash, maintain a clean and dry area, wear loose clothes, and avoid scratching as much as possible. If the rash persists for a long time or is aggravated, it is advisable to see a dermatologist, to get proper treatment.

I have developed rashes around my vagina and it’s spreading to my anus area. It’s itching. Please what is the cause and treatment.
Female | 21
You might have a yeast infection. Yeast is the name of the genus of fungi that can cause red, itchy rashes in warm moist body parts like the vagina and anus. Other symptoms may be inflammation, swelling, and a white, clumpy discharge. With this, doctors can give you antifungal creams that you can buy over the counter, but it is essential to see a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and get the right treatment.

I am confused in between lipoma and cancer. I have some reports can you please confirm that what i have tumer lipoma or cancer tumer. The doctor is not clearly telling anything to me.
Male | 30
It’s completely understandable to have concerns about lumps and the differences between conditions like lipomas and cancerous tumors. Lipomas are typically soft, painless fatty growths that move easily under the skin. In contrast, malignant tumors often present with changes in size, shape, or tenderness. For clarity, I recommend gathering the reports and seeking a second opinion from a dermatologist. They can review your specific situation and offer the best guidance.

Good evening, I do a lot of cardio like jogging, but I noticed that I may have trauma from jogging. On one of my toe nails, I have a brown line on my third toenail. I’m thinking it may occurred due to the friction of my shoes.
Male | 24
A bruised toenail might explain the brown line you noticed. Repeated pressure and friction from shoes during jogging often cause this issue. Occasionally, bleeding occurs beneath the nail. Discomfort or swelling around the toe may arise. To promote healing, ensure proper shoe fit and provide rest for your toe. Over time, this condition should resolve itself. If not, visit a dermatologist.

It must be understood that any discharge from your belly button should not be taken lightly, as it could point to an infection or some other kind of medical condition. I suggest seeing a GP or dermatologist, as they can effectively identify and manage the condition.

I am a 20 year old female that had a cold sore on my lip a few months ago. The actual scab is gone, but there is still a sharp pain in that spot when I touched it. Is it still contagious and how can I stop it? I’ve been putting Abreva and Carmex on the spot that hurts but nothing seems to help. Thank you
Female | 20
The nerve near your previous sore could be causing your current pain. Cold sores are contagious until fully healed, but once the scab is gone, the risk is usually over. You can apply a cold compress or take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Avoid touching or picking at the sore to prevent irritation. If the pain persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist.

Sir mujhe mere street dog ne khana dete time thoda sa scratch kiya h blood bhi nhi aaya ,to kya mujhe vaccination lagani chahie jabki dog bhi 15 din se akdum tik hi hai
Female | 18
Agar aapko kutte ne thoda sa scratch kiya hai, aur khud ko achhe mehsoos kar rahe hain, toh risk kam hai. Rabies ke liye vaccination fasaad se pehle kiya jata hai, aur ismein symptoms hoti hain jaise fever, confusion, aur anxiety. Halankeh aapka kutta theek hai, fir bhi vaccination lena behtar idea hai, kyunki precaution hamesha zaroori hoti hai. Sahi salah ke liye dermatologist se milna accha rahega. Woh aapki health aur situation ka behtar evaluation kar sakte hain. Stay safe!

Such masses can arise from various causes, including cysts, warts, or other benign conditions. No pain is a good sign, but axillaries are a reason why this needs to be paid close attention to. I advise you to consult a dermatologist for careful examination and correct diagnosis.

I took two pills of Isotroin 20 two days ago. Could that cause a delay in my period? My period is actually 7 days late. What should I do?
Female | 27
The Isotroin 20 medicine shouldn't be a reason for a woman to have a late period. Nevertheless, anxiety, alterations in your routine, or some other medications could be responsible. Sometimes, missing a period is okay and it's not a reason for worry. If you have been late for your period for a long time, it is a good idea to take a pregnancy test. If you see other strange symptoms or your period is late for a long time, think about going to your gynecologist for a checkup.

Balanitis is an inflammation of the skin located at the front end of the penis. If addressing the issue, professionals, such as dermatologists and urologists, who are experts in skin and urinary system disease may be consulted. The issue of balanitis springs from a lack of cleanliness, some skin conditions, or various infections. Recommendations from doctors include cleaning the area, prescription of medicated creams, or, if there is an infection, they might need to take antibiotics.

These can arise from infection, irritation, or inadequate healing. For mild problems, topical creams may help soothe the area, while oral tablets can assist in managing pain or inflammation. It’s crucial to keep the wound clean and protected. However, if you observe worsening symptoms or if the wound does not improve, I recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment to ensure optimal healing.

You could have shingles, a condition with red and itchy bumps. The chickenpox virus causes it later in life. It spreads from an area to another area. Despite no fever, you should see a dermatologist. They'll confirm the diagnosis and give treatment.

Hi Doctor, I'm experiencing a recurring skin issue. It starts as a small red dot, which then develops into a sore, causing skin damage. The sore heals after 2-3 weeks, but instead of resolving, the condition spreads to a new location just above the previous sore.
Male | 24
You may have a skin condition known as impetigo. It is usually first seen as a red point and develops into an ulcer thereafter ten days or so, and is finally healed. It may also spread to other skin areas on the body. This is the result of bacteria entering the body through small cuts or sores. In a clean environment, and with the help of antibiotic ointment, the skin can be healed.

Red spots on private parts has yellow on them
Male | 23
Red spots with yellowing on sensitive areas may indicate an infection or irritation, such as folliculitis or a yeast infection. These symptoms can arise from various factors, including friction, poor hygiene, or skin conditions. To help soothe the area, maintain good hygiene and avoid irritants. Over-the-counter creams may offer relief, but it is essential to monitor the condition. If these signs persist or worsen, I strongly recommend consulting a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

what happen if surgical spirit is not apply on skin before injection needle
Male | 23
Before putting a needle in your body, disinfecting the skin area is crucial. It prevents germs from entering, which could cause infections. Signs of infection may include redness, swelling, pain, and fever. So, always clean the skin first when getting an injection. Using surgical spirit kills germs on the surface.
