Question 1

I was prescribed TricoMax (1 tablet daily) for my hair loss problem, but it wasn't specified for how long should I continue taking it. 
I can't go for a follow up because I showed it to the dermatologist at Hindu Rao hospital and have since shifted to another location, quite far from that place.
Any help is hugely appreciated.

Accepted Answer

TricoMax, a supplement containing biotin, vitamin B, and keratin, is recommended for a minimum of 3-6 months to assess its effectiveness for hair loss, and it's essential to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance; consider consulting a new dermatologist in your current location for a follow-up and guidance on continuing or modifying the treatment.

Question 2

Hi doctor, as u mentioned kojivit ultra is safe skin lightening.
There are kojivit gel, kojivit ultra n kojivit cream so all this are same or do I need to specifically check for kojivit ultra and can I use glutathione soap for more effectiveness.
As ...

Accepted Answer

Hi! Yes, Kojivit Ultra is safe for skin lightening, and it can be used instead of the regular Kojivit gel or cream as it has an enhanced formula. However, always check the label for the "Ultra" version. You can use glutathione soap, but ensure your skin reacts well to it, considering your oily and sensitive skin. It's great that you're using sunscreen and aloe vera gel, but avoid any harsh treatments or peels for now to prevent irritation.

Question 3

Ive been getting scabies under my arms, and the skin there has turned dark because of it. I keep having this issue. Whats the best treatment?

Accepted Answer

To treat scabies, you can use Permethrin cream 5%. Apply a thin layer of the cream to your entire body from the neck down and leave it on for 8-14 hours before washing it off. This should be repeated in 7 days. Additionally, you can take an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to wash all clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent re-infestation.

Accepted Answer

Warts can be stubborn to treat, but there are effective options available. One common treatment for warts is Salicylic acid, which is available in the form of Mediplast pads. You can apply these pads directly on the warts daily. Another effective option is Cryotherapy, which involves freezing the warts off with liquid nitrogen. Your doctor can use Veregen cream, which contains green tea extract, to treat the warts. Additionally, Imiquimod cream can also be used to boost the immune response against the warts. It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for these treatments.
