I have a hereditary hair thinning problem where the spacing between my hair has increased and I've lost hair from my forehead. Can this be fixed with medicine or will I need surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hereditary hair thinning, including a receding hairline and increased spacing between hairs, can be addressed with both medications and, in some cases, surgery. Medications like minoxidil and finasteride can help slow down hair loss and may stimulate regrowth, while hair transplantation offers a more permanent solution by moving hair follicles from resistant areas to the thinning scalp.

View allI'm really worried about this painful thing that hasn't gone away in a week. Is there any chance it could be cancer? What should I do?
I understand your concern, and Im here to help. Painful lumps lasting over a week are usually not cancer, but they could be an infection, cyst, or another condition needing attention. Please see a doctor promptly for an examination and proper treatment.

I'm worried because I've been using this melamite cream for a couple of years to clear up my pimples. A friend recommended it, and it worked, but now if I try to stop using it, my face gets all red and starts burning. I really want to stop using this cream, but I don't know how to do it without these side effects. Do you know of any easy and fast ways to help me quit using it?
First of all, it's important to discontinue the use of Melamite cream to prevent further irritation. You can soothe your skin by using a gentle cleanser and applying a moisturizer with ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid. To help with the redness and burning sensation, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone cream twice a day for a few days. Additionally, an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine can help reduce any itching or inflammation. Make sure to protect your skin from the sun and avoid harsh skincare products during this time. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
