I'm dealing with pityriasis rosea and I'm really worried about what foods could make it worse. Is there anything specific I should be avoiding? Also, are there certain foods that might help manage it better? Would appreciate any advice!

I'm really worried about this hair loss issue I've been experiencing near my ear. I tried using an anti-infection cream for around 20 days, but it didn't seem to help. I'm wondering if theres a treatment that could actually work. I've noticed some small black hairs growing in that area, but I'm not sure what that means. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help treat the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management."

I'm dealing with some tanning on my face and I'm really looking for help. Can you recommend a cream or any other solution that can get rid of the tanning without causing any side effects? I'm a bit worried about trying new products on my skin, so any safe suggestions would be really appreciated.

I recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such cream is Melalite Forte cream. Apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected areas of your face once at night. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to prevent further tanning.

I'm dealing with male pattern baldness, and I think it's because of the DHT hormone. Could you recommend the best DHT blocker available in India? I'm really worried about my hair loss and looking for a solution that genuinely works.

Male pattern baldness can be challenging, but there are several natural DHT blockers that can help. Here are some of the best options available in India: - Foods rich in Vitamin C: Include foods like berries (especially blueberries), citrus fruits, and leafy greens in your diet. Vitamin C helps in reducing DHT levels. - Avocado: Rich in amino acids, proteins, and antioxidants, avocado helps in stimulating hair growth and blocking DHT. - Almonds: These nuts are rich in vitamin E, which conditions hair follicles and promotes hair growth. - Tomatoes: Lycopene present in tomatoes inhibits the production of DHT, promoting hair growth. - Eggs: Rich in biotin, eggs help in binding DHT hormone, reducing hair loss. - Green Tea: Vitamin B present in green tea promotes hair growth and blocks DHT. - Watermelon: Lycopene and vitamins C, B12, and B6 present in watermelon help in reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth. - Pumpkin Seeds: Rich in zinc, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids, pumpkin seeds help in blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
