Why is my hair falling out after weight loss?
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?

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.

My roommate has said she had a cold sore for the last two days. And I’m a bit worried. She gave me a piece of food that she bit off of and offered me and also a drink (I didn’t drink off the straw, rather just our the cup) I’m a bit nervous, I’m not sure if she had an outbreak during those times but it was about two / three days ago. Could herpes be spread in that way? (I definitely could be uneducated but just a bit nervous)
Female | 20
Cold sores result from the herpes simplex virus spread by close contact such as kissing or sharing eating utensils. Nonetheless, passing herpes through sharing food or drinks is very unlikely. Signs may commence with a tingling sensation and itching feeling then develop into blisters on the lips or around the mouth. To avoid contracting herpes simplex virus, refrain from sharing cutlery and glasses besides washing hands often.

i have a piple on my dick for 2 years
Male | 19
Pimples pop up anywhere - face, body, even intimate regions. Sometimes sweat, dirt, or oils block skin pores, leading to blemishes. Resist urges to squeeze or burst pimples. This risks infection. Maintain cleanliness and dryness down there. If pimples persist or worsen, see a dermatologist promptly.

I am facing acne issues in face and they are leaving marks as well on face.
Female | 28
Many people deal with acne. These are small red pimples that appear on the face. Sometimes these pimples go away but leave behind ugly marks. They happen when oil mixes with dead skin cells and blocks the tiny holes in your skin. To avoid this, cleanse your face every day using mild soap, and don’t squeeze the spots. Additionally, you may want to seek help from a skin specialist who can offer more guidance.

How to stop hair thinning and how to stop hair loss
Male | 23
Hair can become thinner, with less volume, or even fall out, leaving bare patches. Genetics and hormones play a role, and stress isn't helpful. A poor diet can also contribute, as well as some medical conditions. If it persists, seek expertise from a dermatologist.

Male | 19
Balanitis causes redness and swelling of the foreskin. This could happen from irritation or poor hygiene. Keep the area neat and dry. Don't use harsh soap products. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. If discomfort persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist promptly. They'll properly assess and treat the condition.

A little cat scratch me 5months ago and I complete the vaccination procedure by 0,3,7,21days shedule and after 5months I got scratch by a cat again but the scratch was invisible I feel the scratch just so what should I do ,may I need any vaccine again
Female | 19
It's great that you finished your vaccination following the first cat scratch. Having a new scratch 5 months later, you do not need to get the vaccine again. As long as you have finished the full course in the past and it is less than a year since then, you are safe. Be on the lookout in case of any flaming, puffing, or fever. If you see these signs, consult your doctor.

Iam 23 years of old male having oily skin,acni and pigmentations please tell serum, moisturizer ,facewash and sunscreen Please tell products names ????⚕️????⚕️
Male | 23
If you're dealing with oily skin, acne, pigmentation, or other skin issues, I recommend using "The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%" serum. This product helps reduce sebum production and acne occurrence. For moisturizing, try "Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30" to keep your pores clear. You might also like "Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash," which is gentle on skin affected by impurities. To protect your skin from sun damage, apply "CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30." These products can help give your skin a radiant appearance.

Lump in left side of neck that is tender when pressed on. Been there for 3 weeks. Last 3 to 4 days whole of neck that side and collar bone the same side have been hurting as well.
Female | 20
This happens when your body fights infection. Inflammation is indicated by the tenderness and pain. The pain moving to the collarbone could mean that the infection is spreading. It is important to get checked by a dermatologist so that they can find out what exactly is causing it. They might prescribe antibiotics if it’s because of an infection.

I got many cysts on penis and surrounding again and again. whenever I get Softin tablet it disappears ,but whenever I stop to take Softin, It will appear again.
Male | 29
Sometimes, little fluid-filled bumps form on the penis. These are called penile cysts. Blocked glands may cause them. Softin tablets ease swelling, so stopping them lets cysts return. Don't ignore persistent cysts—a dermatologist should examine them. Proper treatment is crucial. They'll check for any underlying condition triggering these recurring bumps. Cysts aren't dangerous, but proper care matters.

I am 21 years old and having forehead acne only and no acne on other part of face and my doctor suggested me isotretinoin should I take it or they are for severe acne?
Female | 21 years
Forehead acne is quite common. It can be because of the sebum the skin makes too much as it gets plugged and distresses the follicles. Isotretinoin is mainly used for the treatment of severe acne, so if your doctor has recommended it, it may indicate that your acne has become more severe and chronic. Make sure you are listening to your doctor and feel free to express your worries if you have any.

On today morning I saw my 2 sides of forehead are black and skin are thin.when I use water it's itching
Male | 25
You might have a skin problem. The darkness on your forehead might stem from too much pigment in the skin while the thinness could result from inflammation or irritation. Feeling itchy when water touches it could mean that it is sensitive or dry. Use a mild lotion and avoid strong products. In case this does not help, see a dermatologist who will examine you further and offer treatment if necessary.

Feeling itching on Back of my palm and fingers during midnight between 2 to 5am . Unable to sleep because of that .
Male | 43
This may happen due to many reasons, such as dry skin, eczema or allergies and contact dermatitis. Itch sensations may also be heightened at night due to the natural circadian rhythm of the body. It is advised to apply a hypoallergenic moisturizer before going to bed, which can mitigate symptoms of dry skin. It is possible to manage allergic reactions by identifying potential triggers such as certain soaps or fabrics and avoiding them. If chronic or aggravating, it is so recommended to consult a dermatologist for an in-depth evaluation and tailored treatment options targeting the true cause of nighttime scratch.

i have a lump behind my ear that hasn't gone away. it appears to be a swollen lymph node and it's not that big but it's been here for a while and won't seem to go down or go away. i checked on it today and it looks bigger than before so i'm worried.
Male | 13
Consequently, the tonsils may swell; this usually happens because of viruses and bacteria nabbing around in lymph nodes. However, sometimes it is a sign of a more serious or chronic condition; therefore, continuous changes of lumps need to be evaluated by a doctor. You should consult a dermatologist for more proper treatment advice.

I have this little soft lump on my lower vulva perineum it's about the size of the top of my finger, 3 cm. It's squishy and very movable and it looks like it has something yellowish in it, but it doesn't pop. I'm worried it kind of deflates when I stand or normal but it only really puffs up when I touch it or when the surrounding skin is stretched I'm really worried and scared about it. Although I have had it for 3 years and it doesn't cause me problems.
Female | 21
Such lumps can be caused by many factors, such as cysts or lipomas, and very often they are not dangerous. That the lump has been there for three years and has not caused any trouble is the best news. However, any changes in size or appearance are the reasons you should go for a professional check-up. I suggest that you go to a dermatologist to start with a full medical examination. They will give you a clear diagnosis and fill out if there are any necessary treatments.

I have warts in my genital area what medicine should I use to fully get rid of them
Male | 21
Warts in the genital area are caused by a virus known as HPV. They might appear as little bumps and thus can cause slow to no irritation at all or discomfort. However, you can treat them with over-the-counter treatments like salicylic acid or consult a dermatologist for stronger medications to fully get rid of them. It is necessary to adhere to the directions on the medicine to the letter and not to pick or scratch the warts.

I am 50 year old female suffering from lichen planopilaris. I have tried using topical steroids but is not helping with hair loss and I can see more patches appearing.I need help urgently to improve my scalp condition. Thanks
Female | 50
Lichen planopilaris is a skin disease that causes the hair follicles on the scalp to be damaged, leading to hair loss and patches on the scalp. Topical steroids are not always effective. You may need other treatments like oral medications or injections to help the existing condition. I recommend you to a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

So i was punctured by a small metal and i washed and disinfected it i also got my tetanus shot last year what should i do?
Male | 16
It seems like you’ve done a good job taking care of the metal puncture wound by cleaning and sterilizing it. Because you had a tetanus injection in the past year, you are likely to be immune to tetanus. However, watch for redness, swelling, heat, or pain in the area. If any of these symptoms occur, seek medical attention.
