How to regrow hair on a 5cm area at the back of my head without a hair transplant after carbuncle surgery?

I had an operation on back side of my head in which the area was infected with an infection called carbuncle and it was cut to remove it and then the skin there regenerated soon, but its 3 years and the hair there hasn't grown yet. the diameter of that are is approx 5cm. Is there any other way to get hair back without hair transplant?

I recommend that you see a dermatologist for this issue. The scar tissue that resulted from the surgery might have injured the hair follicles, thus depriving them of any regrowth. Unfortunately, there is no scientifically based treatment to re-grow hair in scar tissue except by means of a transplant. Some topical treatments may be prescribed by a dermatologist

My Grandmother is Bedridden for past 4 years. For past 1 month she is having Bedsores in between the shoulder blades which measures around 5×5 cm. Initially we did dressing and it healed leaving a black scar. But for past 2 days we noticed pus discharge from one edge of the scar with foul smell. Inside the scar it is fluctuant. My questions are :- 1. Do we have to remove the entire scar and do the dressing or through the opening in the edge of the scar irrigating and giving antibiotic wash along with betadine gauze packing in the abscess cavity is enough? 2. To prevent further bed sores which bed is good? Water bed or Air Bed?

Female | 92

As for the wound, it is crucial to clean it well and cover it with antibiotic gauze. This is the way it can be healed. Concerning the prevention of further sores, both water beds and air beds are useful by alleviating the pressure on her skin. Be sure to move her body every so often so that she doesn't get too much pressure in one spot. This will also help to prevent more bedsores.

The red and circular patches that have spread all over your body might be ringworm. This is a fungal infection that requires specific antifungal drugs like Terbinafine or Clotrimazole in many cases. The affected areas should be kept tidy and dry; loose clothes may also be worn.

I am suffering from ringworm from last 4 months I have used so many creame but not use, can please suggest powerful treatment for ringworm for short duration

Male | 18

Ringworm is persiste­nt and tough to treat. It is a fungal infection causing circular, red, itchy patche­s on the skin. This fungus thrives in warm, damp environme­nts. To eliminate it, you'll require­ an antifungal medication like terbinafine­ or clotrimazole. Keep the­ affected area cle­an and dry. Consistent use of the me­dication for two weeks should help re­solve it.

Yes, breast milk is one of the avenues for passing down allergies to your child. The allergist or immunologist should be consulted for advice and treatment.

I recommend that you see an urologist promptly for appropriate assessment and diagnosis of the true nature of your condition. Do not use any home treatment since it may worsen the hematoma.

My skin is very dull and i am having open pores near to the nose are on cheeks, skin texture is uneven.what can be possible reason for that

Female | 27

Dull, oily skin with large pores on the nose and cheeks is a common issue. This can result from excess oil production, genetics, or inadequate skin care. These factors often lead to rough patches and an uneven skin tone. To improve your skin, try using gentle cleansers, exfoliating regularly, and applying a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Additionally, staying hydrated is crucial. Open pores can get clogged with dirt and excess oil, but regular exfoliation can help keep them clear. Proper moisturizing prevents dryness without causing excess shine. With consistent care, smooth and evenly-toned skin is achievable.

I got acne on whole face first there is pimple and it convert into mark or acne . Or having white spot ,uneven tone the texture is very bad like hyperpigmentation.

Female | 23

Pimples occur when oil and dead skin cells block hair follicles thus leading to a condition called acne. The marks are usually a result of inflammation in the skin. Instances that can be white spots and not consistent in color are marks of hyperpigmentation. Be gentle to your skin, do not pick your skin, and use products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

Hello Doctor, I am a 30 year old female and I recently noticed open pores on my face, what should I do? My daily routine is: use himalaya neem face wash, then moisturize skin and I happen to have oily & dull skin. Can you pls suggest what should I do? Thank you!

Female | 30

I would like to start by recommending a daily skincare routine for the problems you are facing. Start with Oil control cleansers with AHA's or BHA's to clear the oil and dirt from your face 2-4 times a day. Use a Vit C serum or day serum in the morning if you are at home and you can add sunscreen on top if you are going to go out and will get exposed to sunlight. Evening, after wash use a toner to neutralize and calm your skin. Before bed, use a coat of moisturizer and additional retinol-based anti-aging serum to finish. If it's a major concern, please contact a dermatologist.
