Why Am I Experiencing Excessive Hair Loss?
Excessive hair loss, hormonal tests advice needed , no other problem in body
Dr. Archit Aggarwal
Trichologist
Answered on 20th Aug '24
Excessive hair loss can often be linked to hormonal imbalances, even if there are no other noticeable problems in the body. It's important to get your thyroid levels, estrogen, and androgen hormones checked. I advise you to consult an endocrinologist, to diagnose and treat hormonal issues that might be causing your hair loss.

You should be protected since you've had vaccines for both cat and dog scratches. However, if you're still concerned, it's a good idea to consult your doctor to be safe. In addition to the color and swelling, you might also notice the area around the scratch becoming warmer, which could indicate an infection.

Why Do I Have Sore Throat with Yellow Blisters?
It's been a month for me Sore throat and yellow and white blisters on the inner wall of the throat What causes it It only hurts a little while swallowing and it feels like there is something on the inner wall of the throat
Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
Dermatologist
Answered on 20th Aug '24
You may be suffering from a disease called pharyngitis. It is a high-sounding word that refers to the inflammation of your throat. An infection probably causes yellow and white blisters. This may be caused by either a virus or a bacterium. On the bright side, most cases of pharyngitis tend to be cured independently. Keep drinking a lot of fluids, resting, and gargling with warm salt water to help the pain. If it doesn't get any better after a couple of days, it's a good idea to see a dermatologist for a check-up.

You might have a skin condition called hives. The honeycomb-like patterns could be from the red spots, which may be itchy or slightly raised. Common causes include allergic reactions, stress, or infections. To help with the itching and redness, try taking a cool shower, wearing loose clothing, and avoiding things that trigger the hives. If the hives don’t go away or worsen, it’s a good idea to see a dermatologist.

Which doctor treats excessive sweating?
Hi doctors, My mother who is 50 yrs old is facing excessive sweating from 2 years, we hve checked her BP, sugar and thyroid which are normal, but I'm not understanding which doctor to consult regarding this excessive sweating.
Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
Dermatologist
Answered on 20th Aug '24
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is annoying. The reasons for the sweating can be other than normal BP, sugar, and thyroid of your mother. The medications, menopause, stress, or health problems that are hidden might lead to such a situation. A dermatologist with a focus on skin problems will be the best choice. They can help pinpoint the cause of the sweating and recommend treatments.

Acanthosis Nigricans is what you are suffering from, a skin condition that causes your neck to darken compared to the rest of your body. This may occur if you are obese or have diabetes. It is important to work on reducing your weight and controlling your blood sugar levels. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining the cleanliness of your skin can gradually improve this problem.

You may have a condition known as an inguinal hernia, which happens when a part of your insides protrudes through a weak spot in your groin muscles. It can happen like this: first, there is some swelling that appears to be a bump in your genital area that may go away or spontaneously revive and get painful. A dermatologist should be consulted to examine it and discuss therapy alternatives that can encompass surgical hernia repair.

How can I stop hair loss and test for hormonal imbalance?
I am 21 year old male and my hairline is declining from front and middle. I often smoke. I have used onion oil for months and got good results but after sometimes my hairs started falling out again. How should I stop my hair from falling out and what tests should I prefer to know its hormonal or not ??
Dr. Anju Methil
Cosmetologist
Answered on 20th Aug '24
You need to give due attention to your hair loss problems. Smoking is one of the reasons for hair loss. Hormone Imbalances are also another factor. Blood tests can help determine if your hormone levels are abnormally high or low. Fatigue and weight shift are some of the symptoms of hormonal imbalance. You may require medications or lifestyle adjustments customized to your condition. Routine dermatologist checks are critical.

How can I safely stop using Skinshine Cream?
I am using skinshine cream for last 4 years. I dont have any side effects till now. But when i came to know the side effects of using this i decided to stop using this. So how i can safely stop this without more sideeffects
Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
Dermatologist
Answered on 16th Aug '24
I get why you're worried about stopping Skinshine cream after 4 years. Being careful about side effects makes sense. When you quit, your skin might get red, itchy, or dry. That happens because it got used to the cream. To avoid more problems, try using it less over time. First, use it every other day. Then every two days. Keep doing that until you stop. Going slowly like this can let your skin adjust without too much trouble. Also, moisturize lots during this change to keep your skin healthy.

Soframycin Ointment for Nose Piercing Care
Can I use soframycin ointment on my nose piercing
Dr. Archit Aggarwal
Trichologist
Answered on 16th Aug '24
Nose piercings sometimes get infected. Redness, swelling, pus appear when germs enter. Soframycin ointment doesn't treat piercing infections. Saline solution (saltwater) gently cleans the area. Rinse piercing multiple times daily. If symptoms persist beyond several days, consult a doctor. Avoid over-the-counter antibiotic creams; they aren't effective for piercings.

Using Glutathione for Darkening Skin
I wanna use glutathione as my skin is getting darker
Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
Dermatologist
Answered on 16th Aug '24
Some people wish for lighter skin, but glutathione may not help. Increased pigmentation can be caused by factors like UV rays or skin issues. Trying to change your complexion with glutathione can be risky and might not work. It’s better to focus on using sunscreen, staying hydrated, and eating a healthy diet to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
