Question 1

Hi, Im not overweight and I exercise regularly, but Ive noticed I have Acanthosis nigricans on my neck and a few other parts of my body. Im otherwise perfectly healthy, so I dont understand why this is happening. Its really frustrating and making me feel a bit depressed. Is there any way to treat it and get my normal skin back? Is it even possible?

Accepted Answer

Acanthosis nigricans can sometimes occur in individuals who are not overweight and lead an active lifestyle. To help improve the appearance of Acanthosis nigricans, you can try using a topical cream containing 20% urea or 12% ammonium lactate. These creams can help exfoliate the affected areas and improve the skin texture. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and keeping your skin well moisturized can also help in reducing the appearance of Acanthosis nigricans.

Question 2

Ive had itchy, painful bumps on my butt cheeks for over 10 years. They come and go, but now theyre harder to drain. They also sometimes appear on my inner thighs and sides. Any advice on what this could be?

Accepted Answer

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing recurrent episodes of boils or abscesses. These are usually caused by bacterial infections of the hair follicles. To help treat and prevent these bumps, I recommend practicing good hygiene by keeping the affected areas clean and dry. You can also apply warm compresses to the bumps to help them come to a head and drain. Additionally, you may benefit from using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection.

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.
