I'm really worried about my thin hair and the increasing hair loss I've been noticing. I've heard about something called Refoliu. Can you tell me if it's actually helpful for treating hair issues like mine? What are your thoughts on its effectiveness?

I'm a bit confused about my test results. I tested negative for VDRL and RPR, but my TPHA came back positive at 1160. What does this mean for me in terms of timing or stage of syphilis? I've already taken a 2g dose of Azithromycin. Should I be concerned about needing Penicillin or Doxycycline too?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

My mom has developed some extra skin growth on her finger I've attached a photo. I'm thinking surgery might be needed but I'm not sure which type of doctor to see in Bangalore. Can you suggest a specialist or hospital for this?

For a skin growth on a finger, a dermatologist is the best specialist to consult in Bangalore. They can accurately diagnose the growth, determine if it's a skin tag (a common, benign growth), or if further investigation (like a biopsy) is needed. If removal is necessary, a dermatologist can perform it in a safe and efficient manner.

I'm dealing with a psoriasis issue that I've had for about 15 years now, and it flares up only during the winter. I've never tried any medication because it usually disappears when summer comes around. It's a flaky kind of psoriasis. Could you please recommend any new treatments or medications that I should consider?
