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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
