I've been feeling this intense heat on the top of my head whenever I place my hand there. Some people mention it might be due to body heat, so I've tried doing an oil bath 3 to 4 times, but it hasn't really helped. I'm just wondering what might be causing this and what kind of doctor I should see about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The persistent heat sensation in your head, despite frequent oil baths, could be related to various factors, including stress, anxiety, or underlying medical conditions, such as hypertension, thyroid disorders, or neurological issues, so consider consulting a neurologist

Can you tell me if it's possible to get dimples without having surgery? I wasn't naturally born with them, and I'm really curious if there are exercises or anything else that might help?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to create permanent dimples without surgery. Dimples are genetic traits that are caused by a small opening in the cheek muscle. However, there are some facial exercises that may help enhance the appearance of dimples. One exercise involves smiling widely and pressing your fingers into the sides of your cheeks where dimples would naturally form. Hold this position for a few seconds and repeat several times a day. Remember, results may vary and these exercises may not create permanent dimples.

I'm really worried about my wife's stretch marks on her inner thighs. She's been using Stretchrid cream recommended by a dermatologist, but its only shown a little improvement. She took an Unwanted 72 contraceptive pill in September 2019, and she's noticed a small weight gain recently, which might be linked to the stretch marks. Can you suggest the right treatment or medication for this?
Retinoids can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by promoting collagen production and increasing skin cell turnover. She can try using Retino-A cream 0.05% once daily at night on the affected areas. In addition to topical treatments, she can also consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support skin health and elasticity. I recommend taking Evion 400mg capsule once daily after a meal. It's important to continue using these medications consistently and be patient, as it may take some time to see significant improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks.
