My wife got PRP treatment a few days ago, and now her forehead's really swollen. Is this something we should be worried about? It's been three days since the procedure, and we just want to know if this kind of swelling is normal.

Can you give some details like for what was the platelet rich plasma therapy done on your wife? Swlling at the site of injection, pain, soreness etc are common and they usually subside on its own. But swelling on forehead is not a side effect.

Question

I'm really curious about how well Finpecia works if I stick to using it for the rest of my life. Does it mean I won't lose any more hair? Also, I'm having a hard time deciding between Finpecia and Finax. Is one better than the other in terms of maintaining my hair?

Question

I'm really puzzled here. A while back, I got diagnosed with candidal balanitis and tried Flucan and Terbicip, which cleared up the balanitis but left these persistent red lines around the crown of my glans. They itch randomly, sometimes in the center, sometimes on the sides, and it's been like this for six months. I even tried Valcivir with no luck, and its not getting worse or better. It's just constant itching without any sign of infection. It's been two months since I stopped taking any meds. What's going on with me? Hoping you can shed some light on this.

Question

I'm dealing with Nevus of Ota on my right eye and was being treated at AIIMS Delhi, where I saw a lot of improvement. Unfortunately, I had to stop the treatment because I moved to Bangalore. Could you help me find a good, experienced doctor here in Bangalore for this condition? I'm really looking for someone who can pick up where my treatment left off. Any advice would be appreciated.
