Question 1

I've been noticing more grey hair lately and it's starting to worry me. Is there a particular reason this might be happening, and is it something I should be concerned about medically? What can I do to manage or potentially reverse it?

Accepted Answer

To address premature grey hair, consider a multi-faceted approach: maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins B12, D, and E, copper, and iron; reduce stress through meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises; avoid excessive heat styling, smoking, and harsh chemical hair treatments; and explore natural remedies like amla oil, coconut oil, and henna, while consulting a dermatologist or trichologist for personalized guidance.

Question 2

I've had these scales on my lower legs since I was a kid, and I also noticed my stomach and back skin is darker than the rest of my body. Is there any way to completely get rid of this?

Accepted Answer

Visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

I've had CO2 laser treatments done twice for molluscum contagiosum, but it just won't go away. What else can I try to stop it from coming back?

Accepted Answer

Recurrence of molluscum contagiosum after CO2 laser treatment can be frustrating. To help prevent further recurrence, I recommend using Imiquimod cream (brand name Aldara) topically on the affected areas once daily at bedtime for up to 16 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antiviral medication such as Cimetidine (brand name Tagamet) 400mg twice daily for 6-8 weeks to boost your immune system's response against the virus. Make sure to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I strongly advise you to consult a dermatologist or a urologist as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
