I am suffering from vitiligo since almost 10 years. The patch is not spreading and is only at one place on my left cheek. Since it is not spreading, i would prefer for surgery might be melanocyte transplantation, the one i found from google, if not this might be as advised by doctors. Would like to know what would be the cost and time of cure for this. The patch will be utmost 2cm dia.

The white spots or patches seen on skin due to vitiligo, is caused by the event of immune cells crawling into the skin and killing melanocytes (also known as pigment producing factories). To counter that, this treatment could be efficient, especially if the immune system isn't actively attacking your skin, but if your vitiligo becomes unstable at any point, and which is not predictable even for the doctors, then this treatment wouldn't work the way you intended for it to. This should be a safe procedure otherwise with minimal recovery time and barely any side effects except possible pain and/or redness. The melanin will be extracted from your normal skin and cultured in lab to provide more cells and then cover your patches through transplant.
The cost can fall within the range of Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 1,00,000, and sometimes exceed further, depending upon the area to be covered, technique used, and location as well as infrastructure of the clinic, along with the expertise of doctor.
The procedure should take 2 to 4 hours, the post treatment care would require at least one week's worth of your attention, but the results would show up after few weeks.

I am 25 year old women. My hairfall was extreme from april and i can see a lot of hairs on my pillow floors and they were so fragile and now it has reduced but my scalp is visible under light. I had pcos and in january i had passed a large blood clot with sever pain in palvis but now my periods are also normal. I had extreme emotional stress as my mother was severly ill. I am concerned about my hair my hairline is intact but top and crown area is affected and diffuse thinning is there
Female | 25
Hair loss can be caused by stress, hormonal imbalances, or health issues like PCOS. In your case, the shedding might be related to these factors. The good news is that it should improve as your menstrual cycle regulates. Eating well, managing stress, and self-care will help your hair grow back stronger.

To grow your hair and make it silky again, try eating a well-rounded diet full of fruits and vegetables along with drinking plenty of water.

Hello, can someone with syphillis with a 1:2 titer still be infectious?
Male | 28
Syphilis, even with low levels, remains contagious. It spreads through intimate contact. The bacteria behind syphilis causes sores, rashes, fever, and body pains. But don't worry, antibiotics like penicillin can cure it. However, remember - symptoms disappearing doesn't mean the infection's gone. Getting proper treatment matters. So, be vigilant. If concerned, see a dermatologist now.

l have itchy legs for last two weeks and it itch constantly.What should i do?
Male | 15
When skin is dry, it tends to be more during winter. It could also result from an allergy to something like soap or lotion. Moreover, conditions such as eczema may affect the skin too. Try to solve this problem by using a lot of moisturizing lotion, changing your soap to the one that does not react, and stopping scratching to avoid infections. If these measures fail, then see a dermatologist.

Skin atrophy is the thinning of the skin and it can happen for different reasons like aging, steroid abuse, or some medical conditions. Skin atrophy is the major issue and it is necessary to use gentle lotions and creams to keep your skin moisturized to solve it. Refrain from harsh chemicals and cover your skin from the sun. Eating a balanced meal full of vitamins and minerals can also help your skin. Always bear in mind that the major reason for taking good care of the skin is for the overall well-being of the body.

Allergic reactions bring skin discomfort - rashes, redness, itchiness, bumps. Foods, plants, pet dander often trigger them. Avoid allergy sources. Cool compresses soothe rashes. Antihistamines help, too. But if symptoms persist, visit a dermatologist.

PCOD can trigger the hormonal imbalance which in turn causes hair loss. Some signs are irregular menstruation and acne. To promote new hair growth, you can try consuming a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, controlling stress, and keeping a normal weight. You may talk to your doctor about possible therapies for hair growth as well.

For a very dry and sensitive skin, start a niacinamide based gel to calm the skin .change the face wash to a gentle one, rather than a glow providing one. Post that apply the niacinamide. then use acne moisturizer and then sunscreen for acne prone skin. If this doesn't help you you can consult a dermatologist for skin lightening treatment.

been diagnosed with scabies and applies permethrin cream on the 3rd of april. after research i can see improvements are not quick to see but i am seeing a much larger increase of rashes on different parts of my body that weren’t there and the existing ones, like my left hand, looks like the rashes have developed bumps and look more prominent. is this a normal reaction to the cream and should i be worried that it has made it worse? should i try ignore it until my second treatment?
Male | 20
Are rashes getting worse after using permethrin cream? Relax, that's normal. The mites are dying, which can cause irritation and make the rashes appear worse briefly. Don't worry—this means the treatment is working. Keep at it steadily and follow the instructions carefully. Contact a dermatologist if symptoms escalate severely or if discomfort spikes alarmingly.

I have melasma spots on face and looking out for a solution. I have met a few doctors but did not get any fruitful results. Please let me know, if you can help me out.
Male | 40
Melasma takes months and years to go. Treatments are peel / q switch, Gfc treatments, Transemic injections are needed, topical creams for lightening will be given in rotation, with sunscreen, and oral antioxidants. Don't expect miracles with Melasma. They can increase and reduce with hormones as pregnancy n stress also But definitely can be reduced and controlled.

How can I remove healed accident scars from face
Male | 16
Accidents often result in scars. These marks may appear pink, raised, or flat. Various treatments exist to improve scar appearance. For instance, silicone gels/sheets, laser therapy, and corticosteroid injections can potentially fade scars gradually. Visit a dermatologist for appropriate treatment. However, it's crucial to remain patient throughout the process, as visible improvement takes time.

I have a red, dry skaly penis head. It goes like that after masturbation or a hot shower. Normally it’s just slightly red. I’ve had this for about a year now
Male | 34
Having a crimson, parched, and flaky penis top can be unpleasant, however, there are only a few things to take into account. After masturbation or a hot bath, it’s typical to get marginally crimson. This could be due to irritation from soaps or lotions, a fungal infection, or even sensitivity to certain fabrics. To help, try using gentle soaps, avoiding tight clothes, and keeping the area dry. If the symptoms persist, seek advice from a dermatologist who can provide the right treatment.

Painless lumps in neck. Moveable, been there a while
Female | 16
If the lumps move around easily, they're likely harmless. These lumps might be caused by swollen glands, cysts, or fatty tissue. If there are no changes or issues, just keep an eye on them. However, if they start getting bigger, it's important to see a doctor.

Hello doctor I have 2 marks on my nose earlier it was small and light but Now they are dark and big , and I really want to remove them. So kindly give me advice they look really very bad.
Female | 37
We need to see picture of the marks and we need to know the reason behind marks if it's previous chicken pox or accident or any infection. Based on location sometimes we might remove them or sometimes we might give some sufficient filling part or we have TCA peel so we need to decide based on depth location and reason behind marks. Please share the pictures. You can also visit plastic surgeon near your area.

What happened if I accidentally swallow 3 pouches of cool lip? What are medthods to prevent this?
Male | 30
Swallowing three of those cool lip pouches could be harmful. The pouches contain chemicals that may cause stomachaches, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. Make sure such products are always kept away from children and animals. If someone does this, have them drink lots of water to dilute what they gulped down and call Poison Control right away.
