Question 1

I'm really worried because after my second PRP treatment, I'm experiencing a lot more hair fall than after the first session. The hair fall after the first session seemed normal and even slowed down a lot after about 15 days, but this time it's pretty serious. I'm not using minoxidil or finasteride. Is this kind of hair shedding normal after PRP treatments? Should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

After undergoing PRP treatment, it is normal to experience some hair shedding as part of the hair growth cycle. However, experiencing a sudden increase in hair fall after the second sitting can be concerning. It is important to monitor this closely and discuss it with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can consider using a gentle hair care routine and incorporating a hair growth promoting shampoo containing minoxidil and finasteride. Additionally, you may benefit from using a supplement like biotin to support hair health. If the hair fall persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

Is minoxidil something that's a permanent fix for hair loss, or does it only work while you're using it? I'm a bit concerned about having to apply it indefinitely. Plus, I've been wondering if yoga might help with male pattern baldness. If it does, h...

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil is not a permanent cure for male pattern baldness. It is effective in promoting hair growth as long as it is being applied regularly. One popular brand of minoxidil is Rogaine. Yoga alone is not a proven cure for male pattern baldness. While stress reduction techniques like yoga may help improve overall health and potentially reduce hair loss caused by stress, it is not a guaranteed cure for male pattern baldness. It is recommended to continue practicing yoga as part of a healthy lifestyle. For male pattern baldness treatment, you can consider using minoxidil as mentioned earlier.

I'm really struggling with some serious itching around my groin, and it seems to get worse when things get wet down there. I've tried a bunch of creams, but the itching just keeps coming back, and every time I scratch, it ends up bruising and hurting...

Accepted Answer

To treat this, I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the itching persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 5

I've been dealing with some swelling on my face for the last 23 years, and it's really changed how I look. I'm not really sure why this is happening. What kind of doctor should I see for something like this, and what could be causing it?

Accepted Answer

Facial swelling can be caused by various reasons such as allergies, infections, hormonal imbalances, or underlying medical conditions. To determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment, you should consult a Dermatologist. They specialize in diagnosing and treating skin conditions, including facial swelling. In the meantime, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) to help reduce swelling caused by allergies.
