Question 1

I'm 24 and recently found out my ESR level is 30. I've noticed my hair has been falling out for the past 3 years, and on top of that, I've been dealing with really bad dandruff for the last year. I'm starting to worry if there's a connection between these things. Could the high ESR be causing my hair issues and the dandruff? What should I do about it?

Given the recurring nature of your fungal infection, consider consulting a dermatologist to reassess the treatment plan; meanwhile, continue using Fourderm cream as directed, and complement it with additional measures: keep the affected area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothing, avoid sharing personal items, and apply an antifungal powder or spray to prevent moisture accumulation, which can help reduce the frequency of recurrence.

Question 4

I'm currently taking Acutret tablets and I've heard that using any cosmetic cream while on this medication might not be a good idea. Can you tell me why that is or what might happen if I do use some creams?

Accepted Answer

When taking Acutret (Isotretinoin), it is generally recommended to avoid using any cosmetic creams that contain harsh ingredients, as Isotretinoin can make your skin more sensitive and prone to irritation. It is best to use gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizers and sunscreens. Applying creams with harsh ingredients may lead to increased skin irritation, redness, and peeling. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider or dermatologist for specific recommendations on skincare products while taking Acutret.

Question 6

So, I've noticed these cholesterol deposits on the corner of my eyelid that started showing up about a year ago. I'm wondering how I can treat them or if I even need to. Could you recommend a clinic or specialist I should visit for this issue?

Accepted Answer

The cholesterol deposits on your eyelid are likely xanthelasmata, a harmless condition, but to confirm and discuss treatment options, consider consulting a dermatologist or an oculoplastic surgeon at a reputable eye clinic or hospital, and in the meantime, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, may help slow their growth.
