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.

Dear sir last two years I am suffering from skin irritate and red colour round patch on all over my body and head also. I am 25 years old. I already use medicine such as . ELICASAL cream and Methotrexate tab but no cure well. I request you sir please give me medicine composition that I purchased anywhere.

You may have eczema. It makes your skin turn red, — it also spreads. What works for one person may not work for another so maybe you should try putting on some lotion that has ceramides or colloidal oatmeal in it to calm down the itching. Ask the dermatologist about methotrexate if it’s bad enough—but there are other things they could give instead like corticosteroids or phototherapy treatments too.

I am a 17 year male .. i am having a infection below my lips ... it is very disturbing and so many spots are there in my face
Male | 17
It is apparent that you might have an infection because there might be bacteria or irritation, or the reason may even be viral. The symptoms like spots and feelings of unease can be discomforting, but most of the time these are dismissed as false concerns. It is crucial to keep the area clean and not to pick at the spots. Over-the-counter topical treatments might work; however, I suggest you talk to a Dermatologist first for a more accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan.

Skin pigmentation occurs when melanin deposits cause dark spots. You may have pigmented areas on your face, neck, thighs, or back. There are different treatments available for pigmentation. Creams, lasers, and chemical peels can help reduce dark spots. However, consulting a dermatologist is crucial. They'll recommend the right treatment based on your skin type and condition.

Is it possible that due to iron deficiency my front side of neck is turning black and patchy all of a sudden.
Female | 48
Iron deficiency may cause iron deficiency anemia. Pale skin is a result. But black or patchy areas on the neck's front might signal something else. A medical professional should diagnose and treat correctly. Discuss symptoms with a dermatologist for proper guidance.

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.

I am a 17 year old boy. I am uncircumcised. I got to know that by 17, I should be able to pull back my foreskin completely. I tried doing it and after a few painful attempts of pulling my foreskin, I did it. But the head of the penis was red and I got very uncomfortable and painful upon touching the head of the penis. I am worried about it as I have always been conscious and anxious about it. Please help me out. Thank you!
Male | 17
What you are experiencing is a common issue called Balanitis. It's prevalent in boys who were not circumcised. Symptoms consist of redness and pain when the penis head is touched. This can occur due to bad hygiene or an allergy. The best way out is to keep the place clean and dry, avoid harsh soaps, and gently hold the skin back while showering. If it doesn't work, you need to visit a dermatologist to give you further advice.

I am 17yrs old and I don’t knw what is wrong with my eye section I got a huge bumb right above my eye lashes
Male | 17yrs
It sounds like you may have a stye. A stye is a red, painful lump situated near the eyelid's edge. People may suffer swelling, tenderness, and at times even pus formation. Generally, bacteria are responsible for causing styes when they invade the oil glands around the eyelids. You should administer warm compresses to your eye several times every day without squeezing or bursting the infected area to treat it. It might be wise to consult an eye specialist if no improvement occurs, or the condition deteriorates.

Hi, I've recently noticed I some wart like lumps have appeared near in and around my eye I had this issue last year which I removed them myself I'm just slightly concerned as to why they have come back?
Male | 36
Wart-like bumps near your eye that recur might result from HPV. This virus causes warts on skin. Symptoms are small, raised, maybe itchy or painful bumps. For treatment, see a dermatologist. They'll properly remove using freezing or medication. Treating prevents warts from spreading and worsening.

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.

I got pimples even I try so many products still I didn't get any results even after eating sugar I get more pimples any treatment for acne?
Female | 22
You get pimples when the pores on your skin get blocked by oil and dead cells. An extra breakout might be a result of eating too much sugar. Softly washing your face every day could help relieve acne. Besides, say no to sweet stuff. Finally, use acne products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid as ingredients. All the same, you should know that seeing any changes may take a while. You can also visit a dermatologist for solutions to your acne.

I(22f) lost 20 kgs in 2022 and since then I am suffering from hairfall. I got blood test 2 months ago and I was deficient in vit d(9.44mg/ml) and iron(30). Doctor prescribed 60000iu shots twice weekly and a tablet for daily with additional 1000iu. Also taking iron supplement. For 2-3 weeks ny hair fall came down to 10-15 strans but slowly started increasing and now at 2 months it's more than 100 per day. Before starting supplements it was 40-50. What happened?
Female | 22
The pills might be starting to work. Not having enough vitamin D or iron can make your hair fall out. You may not get all the nutrients you need from them for a while, even if you’re beginning to see things get better. These are some things that need time. Remember not to be anxious and impatient since new hair will only grow slowly. In case everything remains unchanged, contact a dermatologist for more instructions.

Got Red mark on skin since few days
Male | 40
You've noticed a red mark that's been there for a while. It could be from irritation, an allergen, or a bug bite. If it's not too bothersome, try using a moisturizer or an over-the-counter cream to soothe it. Keep an eye on it, and see a dermatologist if it worsens or spreads.

I have bumps on my pubic area.. some are big and some are small. Sometimes there are open cuts around the bikini area that just pop up out of nowhere and bleed.. i just want to know what this is and is it curable
Female | 21
You might have something called folliculitis, which is a pretty common condition. This is when the hair follicles get infected and it causes bumps with sometimes open cuts. Wearing tight clothes or shaving can both cause this by a rubbing or friction though. Treatment involves keeping the area clean, not wearing tight-fitting clothing and applying warm compresses. If these things don’t work then definitely see a dermatologist.

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.

I have a skin cut I haven’t done any medication but I used bactrocin cream now I am afraid of my wound I Don't know what to do
Male | 19
You used bactrocin cream on a skin cut. That's okay, but first clean cuts with soap and water before applying cream. Bactrocin cream helps prevent infections. However, if the cut looks red, swollen, or has pus, it may be infected. See a dermatologist in that case, they'll examine and treat it properly. Meanwhile, keep the cut clean and covered.

Female | 19
It's hard to get rid of acne, but Accutane can treat the serious cases. Azikem and Accutane have different mechanisms of action. Azikem targets the bacteria causing acne, while Accutane works by decreasing oil production. If your dermatologist recommends you take Accutane, they believe it is the best course of action for you. Their qualifications and experience should be your guiding principles in this matter if you want to have the best results.
