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.

Sir i have too many open pores and oily skin and face is not tight face skin is loose. I want to know about treatment options
Male | 26
A common cause of oily skin and enlarged pores is an overproduction of sebum, hormonal changes, or genetic predisposition. Decreased skin elasticity with age is the result of the decrease in skin elasticity, thereby making you look loose. Tackling them with the addition of soft exfoliation, lack of comedogenic moisturizers, and the purchase of products, which contain those like salicylic acid or retinol, to help smooth the texture, can get rid of them. In other ways, treatments such as chemical peels or laser therapy may have a great impact on your skin condition. I suggest you make a connection with the dermatologist so that you can get the best advice based on your skin type and condition.

You Suggest Me that i can get cleanup on face because I am teenager
Male | 19
Most youngsters need a face cleanup. When you see that your pores are clogged, whether it is blackheads, or pimples, the cause of these things can be either dirt, bacteria, or skin oil production. Aside from that, do not forget to cleanse your face twice a day with a mild oil-free cleanser, to make your face glow and not raise the probability of skin infection, use a face moisturizer and do not keep touching your face.

Female | 48
Such a condition can arise when the fluid accumulates within your ear, which frequently occurs when swimming or showering. Some indications of this may be difficulty in hearing or the sensation of a full ear. It's best to stay away from anything that can be inserted into your ear and to consult an ENT specialist who can assist you with this problem.

I have watery pimples on my pennis what might be the cause and they are very itchy and what treatment u you help me with thanks
Male | 30
You have a condition called genital herpes. This harmless infection can result in the formation of watery pimples on the penis and also cause itchiness. Genital herpes is most commonly transmitted through sexual contact. For its treatment, you can take antiviral medications prescribed by a dermatologist. It's best to refrain from sexual contact until the pimples have healed to prevent the virus from spreading.

I need a healthy clear and a glowing skin so what products or treatments should I opt for
Female | 26
For healthy skin, cleanse daily and avoid harsh irritants. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as dehydration can make your skin look dull. Eat fruits and vegetables to get the nutrients your skin needs. Protect your skin from the sun by applying sunscreen every day. Clear, radiant skin comes from gentle cleansing, proper hydration, a nourishing diet, and sun protection.

Hi , pimple marks can be treated by using topical creams containing retinoids, vitamin C or glycolic acids . One should also strive to follow a good skincare regimen and not squeeze their pimples.

Whole body is itching from past two days and whole body has red spots and marks. Medicine going on but still it's itching a lot.
Male | 64
Itching all over the body can be because of various causes like infections, allergies or drug or food allergies, certain conditions like hypo or hyperthyroidism, diabetes etc. Please consult a qualified Dermatologist for the right diagnosis, apt treatment and dose adjustment of the current medicines that are being used. Dermatologist may also recommend certain blood tests and biopsy if necessary for the right diagnosis. Avoid using harsh soaps that strip the moisture from the skin. Use good emollients containing glycerine, shea butter, ceramides etc for soothing effect. For more information you can visit best dermatologist in India.

The forehead and chin acne breakout is a skin disorder resulting from blocked pores caused by excessive oil production. I recommend that you see a dermatologist to receive proper diagnosis and treatment. Based on the level of your acne, they might suggest topical adjuvants or oral medications.

Why do I still feel worm "tickles" and itches even after 3 deworm doses in 2 months?
Female | 42
It’s common to still feel worm tickles and itching even after taking three doses of deworming medicine over two months. This could be because some worms might be resistant to the medicine, or you might have been reinfected. A dermatologist can determine the best treatment plan for you.

The skin discoloration could be from irritation or pigmentation issues, while the acne is likely caused by clogged pores and bacteria. To manage both, keep the area clean, wear loose clothing, and avoid harsh products. If it doesn’t improve, see a dermatologist for specific advice.

Can you suggest to me the best hair transplant technique? And after my hair transplant surgery will I have to take off from my work for a few days??
Male | 32
The choice of the best hair transplant technique depends on various factors, including your hair loss pattern, donor hair availability, and your preferences. Two common methods are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUT involves removing a strip of the scalp for grafts, leaving a linear scar, while FUE involves individually extracting follicles, leaving minimal scarring. Regarding recovery, it's advisable to take a few days off work after the surgery. The initial recovery period typically involves some swelling, redness, and scabbing around the transplant area.

My whole body has been itchy for about a week now. Feet, legs, stomach, back, chest, arms, hands, and head have been so itchy. What’s wrong?
Female | 18
It seems like you could have dermatitis, a condition that can make your skin extremely itchy all over. Dry skin, allergies, or irritation from some products may be the cause of this. To help yourself feel better, try using mild lotion not scratching yourself too much and wearing loose clothes. Should this not work for you it would be good to see a dermatologist who will give you more advice on what to do about it.

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.
