Question 1

Hi doctor, I woke up this morning and noticed bruises on my inner thighs. I haven't been doing any strenuous physical activity and they don't hurt when I touch them. I do tend to sit awkwardly at work with one foot under my leg, but I'm not sure if that's enough pressure to cause such dark bruising. Should I be concerned about this?

Accepted Answer

After undergoing PRP treatment, it is normal to experience some hair shedding as part of the hair growth cycle. However, experiencing a sudden increase in hair fall after the second sitting can be concerning. It is important to monitor this closely and discuss it with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can consider using a gentle hair care routine and incorporating a hair growth promoting shampoo containing minoxidil and finasteride. Additionally, you may benefit from using a supplement like biotin to support hair health. If the hair fall persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

2. Cetrazine: An antihistamine that can help relieve itching and reduce the allergic response.

The healing time for scabies can vary depending on several factors, such as:

1. Severity of infestation: More severe cases may take longer to heal.
2. Effectiveness of treatment: Adherence to the treatment regimen and proper application of medications can impact healing time.
3. Individual response: People's responses to treatment can vary.

Generally, with proper treatment, scabies can be cured within:

- 2-4 weeks: Symptoms like itching and rash may start to subside.
- 4-6 weeks: Skin lesions and rashes may take longer to heal completely.
