Understanding Hair Loss: Genetics vs. Vitamin D Deficiency

I went to a dermatologist for hair loss. He said it could be genetic, but he still wanted me to get a vitamin D test. He prescribed me Ketoral Shampoo, Proestee Anti-Hair Loss Serum, and Pharmaceris H Stimupeel. I have been using the Ketoral Shampoo and Proestee Anti-Hair Loss Serum for a week now, but my hair loss has increased. Is this increase temporary? Or are the doctor's recommendations not suitable for me? When will these medications take effect and my hair loss stop? I also had a vitamin D test done yesterday and my vitamin D level was very low, so I was prescribed a vitamin D supplement. Could my hair loss be due to vitamin D deficiency rather than genetics?

Hair loss happens for many re­asons. Your genes play a role. Nutrie­nt deficiencies are­ a factor too. Your dermatologist prescribed te­sts and medicines. They he­lp find the cause and treat the­ issue. Hair loss may get worse be­fore improving. Stick with the products prescribe­d by your doctor. Give them time to work, usually 3-6 months. Lack of vitamin D contribute­s to hair loss. A vitamin D supplement aids hair health ove­r time.

I have a dry skin, for which the doctor had suggested Zydip lotion having Beclometasonen in it. I am using it regularly with body moisturizer. Can i use it regularly or not?

Male | 23

There are various causes of dry skin including weather conditions, age and certain skin disorders. This can lead to symptoms such as itching, redness or rough patches. Beclometasone contained in Zydip lotion works by reducing inflammation as well as itching. The medicine should be applied along with a skin moisturizer although the frequency of use will depend on what your doctor tells you.

Female | 26

It is possible that you are suffering from a skin condition called eczema. Eczema is a chronic condition that causes the skin to become irritated, red, and itchy. If the itching is severe or does not improve with over-the-counter treatments, you should see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. A dermatologist can help diagnose the problem and provide you with the best treatment plan. They may suggest topical steroids, oral medications, light therapy, or other treatments to help control your symptoms.

Male | 37

Permanent hair removal on chest is possible . Laser therapy is the best option.. It works by targeting hair roots with heat... Results are long-lasting.. Few side effects like redness and swelling may occur. Multiple sessions may be required. Maintenance sessions may be necessary. Consult a dermatologist for the best treatment plan.

Due to Heavy Sun light , face feeling Burning

Male | 22

Your face might seem burnt from too much exposure to the sun, and this can be very uncomfortable. This occurs when the skin gets too much sun without protection. Symptoms can be redness, pain, and maybe blistering. Immediately get into the shade for relief, apply a cool compress, and use aloe vera gel to soothe. Wear sunscreen in future to avoid a repeat of the same.
