Question 1

I've been trying to understand how often PRP treatment can be done because different clinics are saying different things. Some say they would apply the treatment twice a month over three months if the hair doesn't grow, which adds up to six times in three months. Is this frequency safe and effective? I'm concerned about whether there's a standard or if overdoing it could have side effects.

Accepted Answer

Yes continue as advised by the dermatologist.

Question 2

I recently noticed a new mole on the inside of my thigh and I'm kind of worried. It's not flat and has an irregular shape, plus one side is darker than the other. Should I be concerned even though it doesn't seem to be getting any bigger?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

I'm looking for a skin whitening cream that works well for both my face and body. I want something that provides maximum benefits and shows quick results. Can you recommend a good one?

Accepted Answer

There can be several causes why your skin would turn dark or you may get pigmentation. Sun tan, overweight, pigmentation disorders like acanthosis nigricans or melasma, nutritional deficiency etc are some conditions. Unless someone examines you, we cannot know the cause. Unless we find out the cause it is difficult and pointless to treat consult dermatologist

I've got these giltis all over my body like on my stomach, hand, back, and thighs. They're not painful, but they look pretty weird. Should I be concerned about these? What could be causing them?

Accepted Answer

Giltis, also known as keratosis pilaris (KP), are small, rough, sandpapery bumps on the skin. They can appear on various body parts, such as the stomach, hands, back, thighs, and arms.

Possible Causes:

1. Genetics: KP can run in families.
2. Dry skin: Dry skin can exacerbate KP.
3. Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as minerals like zinc, can contribute to KP.
4. Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, puberty, or menopause can lead to KP.

Symptoms:

1. Small, rough bumps on the skin
2. Sandpapery texture
3. May appear red or brown
4. Typically doesn't cause pain or itching

Treatment Options:

1. Moisturize: Keeping the skin hydrated can help reduce the appearance of KP.
2. Exfoliate: Gently exfoliating the skin with a loofah or gentle scrub can help remove dead skin cells.
3. Topical creams: Creams containing urea, hyaluronic acid, or salicylic acid can help soften and remove dead skin cells.
4. Microdermabrasion: A non-invasive exfoliating treatment that can help improve skin texture.

Home Remedies:

1. Sugar or salt scrub: Mix sugar or salt with a gentle cleanser and massage onto the skin before rinsing.
2. Coconut oil: Apply coconut oil to the affected areas to help moisturize and soften the skin.
3. Oatmeal baths: Oatmeal can help soothe and soften the skin.
