I'm dealing with something that's really embarrassing - fordyce spots. I've done a lot of research and I'm pretty sure about the diagnosis. I'm in the South Mumbai area and I really want to get them removed. Can you suggest a good dermatologist who can help with this?

The treatment for Fordyce spots typically involves topical treatments such as Tretinoin cream or laser therapy. Tretinoin cream can be applied directly to the affected area once daily. Laser therapy, such as CO2 laser or pulsed dye laser, can also be used to reduce the appearance of Fordyce spots. However, it is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most appropriate treatment option and dosage for your specific case.

I've got an ESR level of 26 mm and my white blood cell count is 11,400, which I heard is 400 more than normal. I've also been battling acne, hair fall, and dandruff lately. Plus, my wisdom tooth's gum is a bit swollen. Could this swelling be causing my high ESR? I'm really concerned about all these symptoms.
Wisdom tooth gum swelling and a potential gum infection could contribute to your elevated ESR and WBC count. Its important to address the gum issue with a dentist and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation of your blood results and other symptoms.

I've been experiencing a lot of hair fall and breakage lately, especially at the point where my new hair growth meets the area that was treated with keratin three months ago. It's really noticeable every time I wash or brush my hair. Do you think I should stick with the Cacau shampoo and conditioner I've been using, or would another hair treatment help stop the hair fall? What would you suggest?
Keratin-treated hair can be prone to breakage, especially where the treated hair meets the new growth. _Shampoo and Conditioner_ 1. _Switch to a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo_: Consider a shampoo specifically formulated for keratin-treated hair or damaged hair. 2. _Use a moisturizing conditioner_: A deep conditioning treatment can help repair and restore your hair's moisture balance. _Hair Treatments_ 1. _Hair mask_: Apply a hair mask once or twice a week to provide an intense dose of moisture and nourishment. 2. _Hair oil_: Use a hair oil rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, such as argan oil, coconut oil, or olive oil, to help repair and protect your hair. 3. _Protein treatment_: Consider a protein-based treatment to help repair and strengthen your hair. _Reduce Breakage_ 1. _Be gentle when combing_: Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to gently comb out your hair, starting from the ends and working your way up. 2. _Avoid heat styling_: Try to minimize heat styling or use a heat protectant spray to help prevent damage. 3. _Get regular trims_: Regular trims can help prevent split ends and breakage.
