There are several options available for scar removal, including topical treatments, laser therapy, and surgical procedures. One commonly used topical treatment is Mederma, which can help improve the appearance of scars. For laser therapy, you can consider using Fraxel or PicoSure lasers to help reduce the visibility of the scar.

Question 3

I was diagnosed with Jaundice back in July and it took about a month for me to recover. My doctor mentioned I could eat oily foods once I was better. But even months before the Jaundice, I started losing a lot of hair, and now it's really concerning....

Accepted Answer

Jaundice itself doesn't directly cause balding, but the underlying conditions that led to jaundice, such as liver disease or hemolytic anemia, can contribute to hair loss.

Given your history of jaundice and current hair loss, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, to rule out any underlying liver or blood-related conditions.

Regarding hair loss treatment, your doctor may recommend:

1. Iron supplements: Given your low hemoglobin (10.8), iron supplements might help.
2. Vitamin B12 injections: Jaundice can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency, which may contribute to hair loss.

Unfortunately, there is currently no definitive cure for macular amyloidosis. However, topical treatments such as Tacrolimus ointment can help improve the appearance of the affected skin. You can apply Tacrolimus ointment twice daily to the affected areas as prescribed by your dermatologist. Additionally, phototherapy with Narrowband UVB light may also be beneficial in some cases. It is important to follow your dermatologist's recommendations for the best management of macular amyloidosis.
