Question 1

Hi, my brother has been dealing with alopecia and has been prescribed steroids like Aretha 50mg and Betnesol Fort 1mg along with other medications. Im concerned about whether taking these steroids for a long time could affect his organs or sperm count. Could you please advise?

Accepted Answer

no need to worry ,low dose of steroids wont affect any organ,use those prescribed drugs for a period prescribed by your doctor and there is no such relation of these drugs on sperm count.

Question 2

I found a small hole in my skin that looks like a needle prick. Its tender and theres a bump under it. When I touch it, it hurts a little and it was warm at first. Theres no pus, but the bump is hard. What could this be?

Accepted Answer

That could be insect bite or so..,no need to worry it will subside in a day,if it starts itching or becoming worse,visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment,you dont attempt to scratch it or squeeze it.

Question 3

Hi, Im on the 11th day of having chickenpox and all my blisters have scabbed over. But today I noticed two new ones popping up. Should I be worried? Is it possible for new blisters to appear this late in the infection?

Accepted Answer

It is not uncommon for new blisters to appear even after the initial ones have scabbed over. This does not necessarily mean that the chicken pox is returning. However, it is important to continue practicing good hygiene to prevent any potential complications.You should continue to take anti-virals and practice self isolation to prevent further spread of the virus.

Accepted Answer

Concerns about Clindamycin gel and Isotretinoin tablet.

_Possible Reasons for Oily Skin and Lack of Improvement:_

1. _Initial breakout_: Isotretinoin can cause an initial flare-up of acne.
2. _Hormonal adjustments_: Isotretinoin can affect hormone levels, leading to increased oil production.
3. _Clindamycin gel_: Can cause skin dryness, but in some cases, may increase oil production.

_Recommended Next Steps:_

1. _Consult your dermatologist_: Discuss your concerns and the lack of improvement.
2. _Do not stop medication abruptly_: Consult your dermatologist before stopping or adjusting treatment.
3. _Consider adjustments to treatment_: Your dermatologist may adjust the dosage or recommend additional treatments to control oil production and acne.

_Maintain Good Skincare Habits:_

1. _Use non-comedogenic products_: Avoid products that clog pores.
2. _Keep your skin clean_: Gently wash your face twice a day.
3. _Avoid picking or popping pimples_: This can lead to further inflammation and scarring.
