Answered on 15th Jan '25

It’s perfectly normal for some young men to experience delayed facial hair growth as everyone has a unique rate of development. Factors such as genetics, hormonal levels, and overall health can influence this. Some may begin to see changes in their late teens or early twenties. To support healthy growth, maintain a balanced diet, manage stress, and get regular exercise. If this concern continues or you're worried, it’s a good idea to consult a dermatologist. They can assess your situation more thoroughly and provide guidance tailored to your needs.

Skin atrophy is the thinning of the skin and it can happen for different reasons like aging, steroid abuse, or some medical conditions. Skin atrophy is the major issue and it is necessary to use gentle lotions and creams to keep your skin moisturized to solve it. Refrain from harsh chemicals and cover your skin from the sun. Eating a balanced meal full of vitamins and minerals can also help your skin. Always bear in mind that the major reason for taking good care of the skin is for the overall well-being of the body.

I had a small cut on my hand that came into contact with blood on clothe. I didn't see any blood on my cut afterward or any wetness. Could I be infected with HIV?

Female | 33

HIV does not spre­ad easily from dried blood. The virus die­s quickly outside the body. A small cut touching dried blood is ve­ry unlikely to cause infection. Unbroke­n skin protects against HIV entering the­ body. Being cautious with blood is wise. Howeve­r, in this case, the chance of ge­tting HIV is extremely low. It's still good to watch for any unusual symptoms. But you probably have­ nothing to worry about!

Hair loss can be caused by a various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, stress, medications etc. But there are treatments such as topical medications like minoxidil, hair transplants, etc.  that exist to manage hair loss issues. I recommend you to visit a qualified hair transplant doctor. Based on the severity of your hair loss and other factors, he may suggest the best solution for you.

I’ve hyperpigmentation on my face and suburn don’t know what to avoid and yse

Female | 18

I see that you are having dark spots on your face after getting a sunburn. This is called hyperpigmentation. It happens when your skin makes more pigment, called melanin, to protect itself from the sun. To help, avoid direct sunlight, use sunscreen, wear a hat, and apply aloe vera to soothe the burn. Over time, the dark spots may fade, but protecting your skin from the sun is key.

Having acne near chin and its very painful and I am suffering it from 2 years and I am diagnosed with pcos but my periods are regular and my weight is under control

Female | 29

Acne close to your chin has a sharp pain for two years it can also be one of the symptoms of PCOS when you do not have irregular periods and your weight is fine. Hormone disruptors like PCOS are the cause of acne in the region of the chin. One thing to notice is that treatments with creams like salicylic acid, and laser resurfacing can be another option if you commit more to finding the right products for your skin. Not only antibiotics but also the ability of drugs to fight against PCOS by lifestyle changes leads to a reduction of acne too.
