Question 2

As i m 27 yrs of age , i still dont have Beard. The moustache is slightly visible but Beard is still not growing. Can you kindly tell me , is it any serious problem and how can i overcome these ???

Accepted Answer

It's not uncommon for beard growth to vary widely due to genetics or hormonal factors. If there's no underlying medical issue like low testosterone or alopecia, it's usually not a serious problem. A dermatologist or endocrinologist can evaluate and suggest treatments, such as minoxidil or supplements, if appropriate.

Question 3

I had a dog bite me in 2001/2002, but I didn't take the rabies vaccine at that time. After about 5-6 years, I got worried and took 3 doses of the vaccine in 2008. Over the next few years, I took a total of 12 rabies vaccines as post-exposure treatmen...

Accepted Answer

Given your concerns, I'll provide a detailed response to help alleviate your worries.(i) Dog bite in 2001/2002 and subsequent vaccinationsYou received a dog bite in 2001/2002 but didn't receive immediate post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Later, between 2008-2012, you received a total of 12 rabies vaccinations.The risk of developing rabies in this scenario is extremely low.Multiple factors contribute to this assessment:1. Time elapsed: The dog bite occurred over 20 years ago, and you've received multiple vaccinations since then.2. Vaccination regimen: You've completed a series of vaccinations, which provides robust immunity against rabies.3. Immune system response: Your immune system has likely developed a strong response to the vaccinations, further reducing the risk of developing rabies.(ii) Concerns about food exposure at a hotelYou're worried that a dog might have contaminated the food you ate at a hotel. Even if a dog had come into contact with the food, the risk of transmitting rabies through contaminated food is extremely low.Key points to consider:1. Rabies transmission: Rabies is primarily transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, usually through a bite. Indirect transmission through contaminated food or surfaces is highly unlikely.2. Incubation period: The incubation period for rabies is typically between 2-10 weeks, with most cases occurring within 2-3 months. Since you've already passed the 6-7 month mark, the risk of developing rabies from this incident is negligible.3. Testing and diagnosis: Nuchal biopsy and rabies antibody tests are typically used to diagnose rabies in symptomatic individuals. Given your asymptomatic status and the low risk of exposure, these tests are unlikely to provide any valuable information.

Accepted Answer

Pearly penile papules (PPP) are harmless, but for aesthetic concerns, consider consulting a dermatologist for professional advice; some home remedies like tea tree oil, castor oil, and aloe vera gel may help reduce inflammation, but there's limited scientific evidence for their effectiveness; medical treatments like carbon dioxide laser therapy, cryotherapy, or radiosurgery may be recommended by a dermatologist, but over-the-counter (OTC) medicines are not typically advised for PPP removal.
