Question 1

I'm Meenakshi, I'm 22 and from Chennai. I've been dealing with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) for over two years now. I've been on tablets for more than a year and a half, but it seems like they're not really working for me, and things might be getting worse. I've recently started on injections. Could you guide me to a doctor who has good experience with SLE? I'm really hoping to get some advice on what to do next.

Visit General Physician for further management

Question 2

I'm 26 and already dealing with 35 white hairs. I'm also starting to lose some hair. Is there any solution for this?

Accepted Answer

Premature graying of hair and hair fall can be concerning issues. To address the premature graying, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the scalp to promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Additionally, taking Biotin supplements can also help in improving hair health. For the hair fall, you can use Finasteride 1mg daily to help reduce hair fall and promote hair regrowth. It is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and to manage stress levels as these can also impact hair health.

Question 3

I've had this small lump on my skin near the pubic area for the past 9 months and I'm not really sure what it is. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

A small lump near the pubic area that has been present for 9 months could be a variety of things such as a cyst, lipoma, or an enlarged lymph node. I recommend you to use an antibiotic cream like Neosporin and consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management

Accepted Answer

Applying oil to the hair can sometimes lead to hair fall if not done properly or if the oil is not suitable for your scalp. Since you are already taking a healthy diet with eggs, almonds (badam), and dates, you may consider adding a biotin supplement to promote hair growth. Additionally, you can try using minoxidil solution on the scalp to help with hair regrowth. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Question 6

I've been dealing with really dark and pigmented knees, and it's super embarrassing. I've tried using brightening creams and even a bunch of home remedies, but nothing seems to work. Could you recommend any medication or treatment that might help?

1. *Hydroquinone cream*: A common treatment for hyperpigmentation. However, use it under a dermatologist's guidance.
2. *Kojic acid cream*: Helps reduce melanin production and hyperpigmentation.
3. *Retinoid cream*: Derivatives of vitamin A that can help reduce hyperpigmentation.

*Home Remedies*

1. *Lemon juice and honey*: Mix equal parts lemon juice and honey, apply to knees, and rinse after 20 minutes.
2. *Cucumber and turmeric*: Grate cucumber, mix with turmeric powder, and apply to knees.
3. *Coconut oil and sugar*: Mix coconut oil and sugar, gently scrub knees, and rinse.
