Question 1

I've had my ears pierced for almost five years but just noticed a bump next to the piercing on my left ear two days ago. It's not too hard or soft, only hurts when pressed, and has shrunk from its original dome shape. I don't think it's a keloid since those grow inside the piercing could it be an abscess or a boil? I'm worried I might need surgery but hoping for a home remedy if possible.

Accepted Answer

ent opinion is advised.

Question 2

I'm really worried about a fungal infection I've had for the past year. I've tried medications from different doctors, but it's just spreading all over my body, causing itching and irritation. It's tough to get any mental relief from this infection. Can you help me find a permanent solution? I'm looking for a complete cure, not just a temporary fix. It's been going on for so long, and it's really affecting my life. Also, my wife is dealing with the same issue and she's pregnant. Could this infection impact our newborn? If so, what precautions should we take to protect the baby? I've already consulted 4 doctors and tried everything from English medicine to homeopathy, but nothing is working. We desperately need the best advice and treatment for fungal infections. Can you guide us on what to do next?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
Follow the prescribed antifungal regimen, including oral and topical treatments.
Ensure proper hygiene, especially in moist areas prone to infection.
Take steps to improve immunity by maintaining a healthy diet and managing stress.

Question 3

I moved to Pune about a year and a half ago, and since then I've been dealing with a lot of hair fall. It's pretty bad, like my hair comes out in full strands and in big bunches, especially when I shower. It's really worrying because my hair volume is down to about a third of what it used to be. I'm really stressed about it and was hoping you could help me figure out what might be going on and how to fix it.

Accepted Answer

Consider consulting a trichologist or dermatologist in Pune to diagnose the underlying cause of your excessive hair fall, which could be related to the city's hard water, climate change, or other environmental factors, and they can recommend personalized treatments, such as medicated shampoos, hair growth serums, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), to help address your hair loss concerns.

I'm really worried about these chicken pox scars on my face. They just won't go away, and I'm feeling so self-conscious about it. Can you suggest any treatments or remedies that might help get rid of them? I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to work. Would love to hear your advice.
