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.

View allI'm really worried and curious about something. Is it true that eating milk and onions together, like in a sandwich or mixed with vegetables, can cause vitiligo? I'm just trying to understand how vitiligo actually happens. Is it some kind of viral issue? I'd appreciate any insights you could give me.
Consuming milk and onion together does not cause vitiligo. Vitiligo is a skin condition where the cells that produce skin pigment are destroyed, leading to white patches on the skin. The exact cause of vitiligo is not fully understood, but it is believed to be an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the pigment-producing cells. Vitiligo is not viral. Treatment options for vitiligo include topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and phototherapy with medications like Tacrolimus ointment or Pimecrolimus cream.

I've been prescribed linid 600 and clavmox 625 to take twice a day for a small infection with pus in my nail wound. I'm just wondering why I need to take two antibiotics at the same time. I'm only following the doctor's advice but would really love to understand the reason behind it. Can any doctor explain why I'm having these meds together?
_Persistent Ear Irritation and Congestion: Next Steps for Diagnosis and Treatment_ Given your ongoing symptoms and previous treatments, it's essential to reassess your condition and consider alternative explanations. Here's a summary of your situation and recommendations: _Possible Causes:_ 1. _Eustachian tube dysfunction_: The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the back of the throat. Dysfunction can cause ear fullness, congestion, and autophony (hearing your own voice or breathing sounds). 2. _Sinusitis or allergies_: Sinus congestion and allergies can cause Eustachian tube dysfunction, leading to ear symptoms. 3. _Middle ear issues_: Persistent middle ear infection, otosclerosis, or other conditions might be contributing to your symptoms. _Next Steps:_ 1. _Consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist_: Schedule an appointment with an ENT specialist to reassess your ear and sinus symptoms. 2. _Comprehensive evaluation_: The ENT specialist will perform a thorough evaluation, including: - Otoscopy to examine the ear canal and eardrum - Nasal endoscopy to evaluate the nasal passages and sinuses - Hearing tests to assess hearing function - Imaging studies (e.g., CT or MRI scans) to visualize the sinuses and ears 3. _Treatment options_: Based on the evaluation results, the ENT specialist may recommend: - Antibiotics or antifungal medications for sinus or ear infections - Nasal sprays or oral medications for allergies or sinus congestion - Eustachian tube exercises or balloon dilation to improve Eustachian tube function - Referral to an allergist for further evaluation and treatment _Continue Self-Care:_ 1. _Maintain good nasal hygiene_: Use saline nasal sprays or rinse your nasal passages with a neti pot. 2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids to help thin out mucus and promote drainage. 3. _Manage allergies_: Continue using antihistamines or other medications as prescribed to manage allergy symptoms.
