For hair PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment, the latest procedure involves extracting a small amount of blood from your arm, processing it to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injecting it into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. The type of anesthesia commonly used for this procedure is local anesthesia, which is applied to the scalp to minimize any discomfort during the injections. The brand name of the local anesthesia that can be used for this procedure is Lidocaine. The dosage and concentration of Lidocaine will depend on the specific protocol followed by your healthcare provider, but it is typically administered in small amounts to the scalp before the PRP injections. Remember to discuss any concerns or questions about the procedure with your healthcare provider before undergoing the treatment.

I'm experiencing quite a bit of pain on the left side tip of my nose. It feels really sore to touch, but I can't see any pimples or anything there. This started in the afternoon, and I'm not sure what's going on. Should I be worried about it, or is there something I can do at home to help with the pain?

You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Mupirocin 2% applied inside the nostril three times a day for 5-7 days to help clear up the infection. Additionally, taking Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief can also be helpful. If the pain persists or worsens, it is recommended to see a doctor for further evaluation and management.
