Can Nutrient Deficiency Cause Small White Spots on Your Face?

Is small white spots on whole face a sign of deficiency in some nutrients

1 Answer

Answered on 6th Dec '24

Spots on the face could be a sign of a disease, called vitiligo, associated with white color. This occurs when melanocytes, the cells which produce pigmentation in the skin, are destroyed by the immune system. The best option is to go to a dermatologist who has a lot of experience in the management of patients with vitiligo.

While cutting pubic hairs down there, I have cut myself from scissors. Can this cause tatnus. What should I do?

Female | 27

Tetanus disease comes with some toxic dirty cuts that make swallowing very hard as well as stiffness of muscles generally. Such people should ensure the scratch is germs-free by washing it with water and soap and then applying any antiseptic. One should also note that if you have not had any tetanus vaccination within the last ten years, make sure it is done as soon as possible to prevent further infections.

Hello doctor. I am rohit bisht. I am 18 years old. Please suggest me how to recover and stop hair whitening

Male | 18

Hair going white with age or being genetic is a usual thing. Skin problems and tension also cause this. Do something for yourself if under stress; take deep breaths maybe start doing yoga. Have a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals as they play a crucial role in preventing premature greying. If possible use plant-based dyes because they don’t contain harmful chemicals however; don’t forget to handle your hair gently while dying it so that you may not end up damaging it further.

Hello I am Vanitha Kotian and my hair is pretty dry and brittle.which shampoo, oil and conditioner do u recommend

Female | 52

dry and fragile hair can result from many reasons such as genetics, poor nutrition or surrounding. On the other hand, it is always advisable to see a dermatologist who can inspect your scalp and strands of hair in order to establish exactly what has caused this condition. They can then offer specific hair care products and treatments that address your needs.

I am 21 year old female... extreme hair fall is there from last 1 month....what should I have to do

Female | 21

You are dealing with a problem of a lot of hair falling out, which can be one of those things that worry you. Stress, poor nutrition, or hormonal changes are common causes of your age. It's crucial to consume a healthy and balanced diet packed with vitamins and minerals. Try relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, guided imagery, and yoga to manage stress. Gently using hair products and not tying hairstyles tightly can also be beneficial.
