I had an accident a few days ago and ended up with three stitches on the back of my head. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Soframycin on them. What do you think? Should I be careful about anything while applying it?

I'm a 21-year-old girl dealing with hair thinning, and I'm really looking to make my hair thicker, stronger, and longer. Could you explain a bit about the PRP treatment and what it costs in Pune? Also, how many sessions would I need to see results?

I've been having really itchy palms and feet for the past three days. There aren't any rashes, but whenever I scratch, the skin gets all red. It's starting to worry me a bit. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as dyshidrotic eczema. For relief from itching and redness, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream on the affected areas. Additionally, taking oral antihistamines such as cetirizine can help with itching. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm 25 and dealing with hair thinning and bald patches. My dermatologist suggested PRP and minoxidil for about 3-6 months. I've read that when you stop using minoxidil, the hair gains disappear. So why would the doctor recommend it for a short period? Will all the hair I get from PRP and minoxidil just fall out once I stop using minoxidil after a short time?

Thats not true,follow your doctors advice and consume protiene rich food
