Question 1

I've noticed my forehead is swollen just above my right eye. It's not itchy or painful and measures about 1 inch wide by 1.5 inches in height. A couple of nights ago, my head was really itchy, and I had big, itchy bumps all over my shoulders. I'm not sure if that's connected, but what might be causing the swelling on my forehead?

Accepted Answer

he sudden onset of a painless, non-itchy swelling on your forehead, coinciding with a previous episode of itchy bumps on your shoulders, could be related to an allergic reaction, insect bites, or angioedema, but other possibilities include a forehead cyst, eyelid stye, or a side effect of a medication; to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, it's recommended to consult a dermatologist or primary care physician for a thorough evaluation.

Question 2

I'm using Bontress leave-on lotion and I'm really curious about how effective it is and how long it might take to help with my hair fall. I've switched from using Hair For You 10 because it seemed to cause more hair fall and I didn't want to keep using it forever. My hair growth seems okay, but the hair fall has increased with the previous solution, which is why I decided to try Bontress. Could you let me know how many days it typically takes to see a reduction in hair fall with this treatment?

Accepted Answer

Bontress leave-on lotion, containing saw palmetto, biotin, and keratin, may help reduce hair fall by blocking dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone contributing to hair loss; while individual results vary, some users report noticeable improvements within 2-4 weeks, with significant reductions in hair fall after 8-12 weeks of consistent use;

Question 3

I've been noticing these dark spots on my upper body, like on my shoulders, upper chest, under my arms, upper back, and even on top of my arms. It itches a lot whenever I start sweating. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what's causing this. Could it be something serious or is it a common skin issue? What's the best way to deal with this itchiness and the spots?

Accepted Answer

Could be a condition called Tinea Versicolor. This is a fungal infection of the skin that can result in discolored patches. You can use over-the-counter antifungal creams such as Clotrimazole cream applied twice daily for 2-4 weeks. In severe cases, oral antifungal medications like Fluconazole may be prescribed by a doctor. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid excessive sweating.

I'm really worried because I've been using propyzole for over two months now, along with atarax, but it seems like it's getting worse instead of better. It's expanding more and more. What should I do next? It's really frustrating to see no improvement. Could there be something else affecting it?
