I've been noticing my eyebrow hairs falling out a lot lately. Every time I touch my eyebrow, a couple of hairs come out. Just yesterday, I noticed a small bald spot on my right eyebrow. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Small bald spot on eyebrow with hairs falling out could be due to a condition called alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to hair loss. In this case, I would recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected area to promote hair growth. Additionally, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like Clobetasol propionate 0.05% once daily to reduce inflammation and encourage hair regrowth. If the condition persists, it is important to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried about my 12-year-old daughter's hair turning white. She's got about 50 white hairs already. I'm not sure what to do or which treatment would be best. Can you tell me what type of doctor we should see for this issue?
Premature graying of hair can be due to various factors such as genetics, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, or stress. To address this issue, you can consult a dermatologist. They can evaluate the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment. In this case, the doctor may prescribe a medication like Minoxidil solution to help with hair regrowth and prevent further graying. The dosage and application instructions will be provided by the dermatologist after evaluation.

I'm 37 and have been dealing with severe acne for years. My doctor put me on Sotret 20 mg, but I'm also experiencing hair fall. He advised me to try Adgain for it. I'm a bit concerned and curious if it's safe to take both Adgain and Sotret together. Will there be any negative effects?

Is it possible to remove sentinel skin tags without surgery and how long does the recovery usually take if they're removed non-surgically
Yes, sentinel skin tags (also called sentinel piles) can be removed without surgery using methods like cryotherapy, burning, or freezing, or by tying a piece of dental floss or fine cotton around the base of the skin tag. The recovery time for non-surgical removal is usually a few weeks, with the tag dropping off after freezing or burning.
