Your daughter might have vitiligo, a common skin condition that causes white patches on the skin. It doesn’t cause pain or itching but can spread over time. The exact cause isn’t clear, but it may affect the immune system. While treatments are available, managing the condition can be challenging. It’s important to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and discuss the best treatment options for your daughter.

I’m 16 years old I have acne from last 8-12months I have shown to 2 dermatologist but it doesn’t work properly I have acne spots on chest & shoulders too What should I do? & have oily face

It could be for many reasons, including hormones, stress, genetics and skin care products that can cause acne. It is recommended that you consult with dermatologist to assess your skin and determine the best treatment for your specific needs. In the meantime, maintain a gentle and consistent skincare routine, including cleansing your face twice daily with a mild cleanser and moisturizing with a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Avoid irritating ingredients such as alcohol and fragrances.

I am a 18 year old male. I used my friends derma roller . And now I am anxious if I can get hiv from it although he doesn't have hiv. The roller was disinfected before I used it with spray alcohol.

Male | 18

It is safe to use a friend's derma roller after disinfection if it has been sprayed with alcohol. HIV is a sexual infection; sharing needles is one of the transmitter. A sterilized roller is thus no cause of fear or stress if someone else has got HIV. Such sterilized tools do not risk transmitting HIV.

I am 27 year old living in ranchi kanke road , having serious problem of dandruff hairfall and my hair color is changing into white even some part of beard as well. Kindly help me with the treatment.

Male | 27

Dandruff in the scalp is due to excess sebum (natural oil) production along with increased activity of a fungus called Malassezia in the scalp. Antifungal shampoos containing Ketoconazole, Ciclopirox, selenium sulphide can help treat the dandruff. If it is severe, oral antifungals are also prescribed for a short duration. Salicylic acid, coal tar shampoos are also prescribed in case of excess flakiness of scalp. Hair fall may be due to dandruff, nutritional deficiencies, stress or due to genetic factors. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist who can diagnose the cause of hairfall and may suggest treatment accordingly. Trichoscopy of the scalp may help in understanding the nature of the scalp and condition. Nutritional supplements, Capixyl containing serum, Minoxidil solution, oral supplements containing vitamin and minerals are prescribed by the dermatologist to treat the hair loss. Change in hair colour in beard and scalp may be due to nutritional deficiencies or strong hair colours or genetic causes. Dermatologist’s help may be needed to treat the same. Calcium pantothenate containing supplements may help slow down the greying and sometimes restore the colour of hair.

Pitti and kujli rash padh rahe hain aur Kyon chal rahi hai

Male | 22

The most common reasons behind this are allergies and skin irritation. You should pay attention to the products you use because they should not contain any harmful ingredients. To fight against this problem, moisturize well and avoid using soaps and chemicals that are too harsh.
