Question 1

Sir, I've been having hair fall for about 8 years now, and I've lost most of the hair on the top of my head. I only have hair on the sides now. I've just started taking Keraglo Men tablets and Evion capsules, along with massaging my scalp with Dabur Amla oil. Do you think this will help with hair regrowth?

Question 2

Hi doctor,My doctor recommended Aziderm gel, but I ended up buying Aziderm cream by mistake. Is it okay to use the cream instead of the gel, or will it cause any irritation or problems for my skin?

Accepted Answer

Aziderm contains azelaic acid, which is commonly used to treat certain skin conditions like acne. The primary difference between a gel and a cream formulation lies in their base composition. Gels are usually water-based, tend to be lighter, and can be more suitable for oily or acne-prone skin. Creams, on the other hand, are often oil-based, thicker, and might be more appropriate for dry or sensitive skin.Using Aziderm cream instead of gel should generally be safe, but keep the following points in mind:Skin Type Compatibility: If you have very oily or acne-prone skin, a gel might penetrate better without leaving a greasy feeling. If your skin is more on the dry or sensitive side, a cream might be more soothing.Irritation Potential: Both formulations can potentially cause some irritation, especially if your skin is sensitive to azelaic acid. Watch for redness, stinging, or peeling. If you experience significant discomfort, consider discontinuing use or reducing the frequency of application.Application Tips:Apply a thin layer to the affected area.Start using it once daily to see how your skin reacts, then gradually increase to twice daily if needed.Moisturizer: If you notice dryness, applying a non-comedogenic moisturizer after the cream may help.Sun Protection: Ensure you use adequate sun protection, as azelaic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

Question 3

I have dark patches on my inner thighs, which have been there for months and they haven’t gone down or away. This has also been alongside an urge to eat food all the time, and tiredness

Accepted Answer

The dark patches on your inner thighs could be a sign of a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance. To address this, I recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin, such as Tri-Luma cream, to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, managing your insulin levels through lifestyle changes and medications like metformin can help improve the condition. For the increased appetite and tiredness, it is important to address the underlying cause, which may involve further evaluation and treatment.
