Question 1

I'm currently taking Fefolz and Percos hair serum to deal with my hair loss, but I'm noticing my weight is going up and there's not much difference in my hair. Is it okay to keep using these, or could they be causing the weight gain?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 2

Are folliculitis and Pityriasis Versicolor contagious? I've got a 7-month-old baby, and I'm worried about whether there's a risk of it spreading to him when I hold him. Could you help clarify this concern?

Accepted Answer

As a parent, it's natural to worry about your baby's health.

Pityrosporum Folliculitis (P. Folliculitis) and Pityriasis Versicolor (P. Versicolor):

Both conditions are caused by the overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia. This fungus is naturally present on human skin and can cause problems when it grows excessively.Neither P. Folliculitis nor P. Versicolor is highly contagious. The fungus that causes these conditions is already present on human skin, and overgrowth is often triggered by individual factors, such as:

1. Hormonal changes
2. Stress
3. Genetics
4. Environmental factors (e.g., humidity, temperature)

Risk of transmission to your baby:

The risk of transmitting P. Folliculitis or P. Versicolor to your 7-month-old baby is low. However, it's essential to take precautions:

Question 3

I'm going through treatment for seborrheic dermatitis and it's causing some hair loss. I'm considering using minoxidil 5% on my scalp to help with the hair loss. Is it safe to use it alongside my current treatment? Would love your advice.

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil may worsen irritation if your seborrheic dermatitis is not under control, so its essential to address your scalp condition first.Consult with a dermatologist to ensure that using minoxidil with your current seborrheic dermatitis treatment is safe.

I'm looking for an alternative to Dermadew Glow, maybe something even better. Do you have any recommendations for a good fairness cream?
