Question 1

Ive been on medication for tuberculosis for the past two months. Initially, I was taking Akurit 4, but it caused severe joint pain, so my doctor switched me to AKT 3 about 1.5 months ago. Lately, Ive been experiencing a lot of hair fallso much that I feel I might go bald soon. Ive also noticed quite a few white strands appearing. Could this be a side effect of the medication, and is there anything I can do to control the hair fall and prevent more white hair?

Accepted Answer

Dermikem OC cream contains Ofloxacin and Clobetasol, typically used for bacterial infections and skin inflammation. For glowing, healthy-looking skin, consider the following:

_Alternative Treatments_

1. _Kojic acid creams_: Natural alternative to hydroquinone, helps reduce melanin production.
2. _Niacinamide creams_: Improves skin brightness, reduces inflammation, and enhances skin elasticity.
3. _Vitamin C serums_: Boosts collagen production, brightens skin tone, and protects against environmental stressors.
4. _Retinoid creams_: Derivatives of vitamin A, promote cell turnover, collagen production, and skin elasticity.

_Skin Care Routine_

1. _Cleansing_: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser suitable for your skin type.
2. _Toning_: Apply a toner to balance your skin's pH and remove residual impurities.
3. _Moisturizing_: Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to hydrate your skin.
4. _Sunscreen_: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.

_Additional Tips_

1. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
2. _Eat a balanced diet_: Focus on whole foods rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
3. _Exercise regularly_: Engage in moderate physical activity to improve circulation

Stop using those creams immediately.You need to visit a dermatologist or a trichologist for proper treatment .

Question 5

I have rashes on my hips that look like an infection and theyre really itchy. I tried using itch guard, but it didnt help. Im getting worried. What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like you may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider.

Question 6

Ive started using Minokem F 5% for hair regrowth on some bald patches I have. How often should I apply it, and will it really help with regrowth?

Accepted Answer

It really helps if you follow it as advised. Also along with medication you need to take proper care of your diet and hydration.common side effects of this medicine are scalp irritation or itching.Dryness or flaking of the scalp.
