Question 1

I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I'm having some hair issues that I'm really concerned about. Every time I take a shower, I lose about 10 to 20 strands of hair, sometimes even more. It's been worrying me quite a bit, especially because I have curly hair with mild dandruff. If I skip washing my hair for just one day, my scalp gets super oily, and the dandruff gets worse. And when I shave my head, I notice patchy dandruff along with some red spots on my scalp. Is there something I should be worried about here or some steps I can take to address these?

Accepted Answer

Losing ten to twenty strands is not significant... Maybe the dandruff is causing u to lose hair a little faster than normal... Oil massage at night is good after adding a little  lemon... Don't oil in the day as it attracts dust... Do it for some time.. it will definitely improve

Question 4

Is it alright to keep using mometasone furoate cream on my eyelids and above my lips? I've been on this medication for about a year and it works great, but I came across some articles that say maybe it shouldn't be used on those areas. Should I be wo...

Accepted Answer

Mometasone furoate cream is a potent topical corticosteroid. While it can be effective, using it on sensitive areas like eyelids and above the lips for an extended period (1 year) may pose risks:

*Risks on Eyelids:*

1. *Skin thinning*: Prolonged use can cause skin thinning, making eyelids more prone to injury.
2. *Glaucoma*: Long-term use around the eyes may increase the risk of glaucoma.
3. *Cataracts*: Prolonged use may also increase the risk of cataracts.

*Risks Above the Lips:*

1. *Skin thinning*: Similar to eyelids, skin thinning can occur, making the area more sensitive.
2. *Perioral dermatitis*: Long-term use can lead to perioral dermatitis, a skin condition characterized by redness, bumps, and itching.

Question 5

I've just turned 31 and I'm dealing with this annoying fungal rash on my skin for the first time. I vaguely remember my mom having it once too. I'm not too keen on taking oral meds, so I'm wondering if there's a cream that can help treat this?

Accepted Answer

For fungal skin infections, you can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream called Clotrimazole. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2 to 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry before applying the cream. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

Question 6

I'm dealing with a really painful issue where the skin has torn on the upper middle part of my buttocks, close to the tailbone. It hurts quite a bit, and I'm uncertain about what it might be. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Could be due to a condition called a pilonidal cyst. This can cause pain and discomfort in the area. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry to prevent infection. You can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day to help with healing. Additionally, taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with the pain. If the pain persists or if there are signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage of pus, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
