Question 1

I've got a concern about my health. So, I had a skin allergy about a month ago, and thankfully it's all cured now. But recently, I've been dealing with fissures and used some Ayurvedic medicine for them. It seems to have increased my eosinophils, though the infection has cleared up. The thing is, my ASO titre count is still at 421, and I'm just wondering if that's something to be worried about. Could you help me understand if this high ASO titre is normal, or should I be taking some steps here?

Accepted Answer

-Your high ASO titre count of 421 suggests a recent or past streptococcal infection, which could be linked to your skin allergy or other issues. It's good that your infection has cleared up, but the elevated ASO level might take some time to return to nor

Question 2

I'm a 17-year-old girl struggling with a ton of pimples on my face, and the usual acne creams haven't really worked out for me. I'm wondering if Metrogyl Gel could be effective for treating my acne?

Accepted Answer

Metrogyl Gel, containing metronidazole, is primarily used to treat rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness, inflammation, and acne-like symptoms. While it might help with acne, its effectiveness for this purpose is limited.

For acne treatment, consider the following:

1. Benzoyl peroxide-based creams or gels (2.5% or 5%) for mild to moderate acne.
2. Salicylic acid-based products (0.5% or 2%) for blackheads and whiteheads.
3. Sulfur-based products for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment. They may prescribe topical or oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal treatments, depending on your acne severity and type.

Question 3

I'm 35 and for the past five years, I've been dealing with these painful bumps with pus on my scalp, which the doctors say is scalp folliculitis. I attached some images to show what's been going on. I've already seen a dermatologist, but I'm still struggling to find relief. I've tried a bunch of medicines and shampoos like Isotrian 10 mg, T.Bact Shampoo, 8X Shampoo, Limcee Tablet, Cap Doxt 100 mg, Salisia KT Shampoo, Metasone F Cream, Pantop 40, Gudcef CV, Amoxyclavunate 625 mg, Ultiderm Lotion, Cadid TV Shampoo, Monoz 500 mg, Flutican200, Sporolac, Septran Tablet, Isotroin 20 mg, and Trigaine Shampoo, but nothing seems to work. Can you please suggest the best tablets or shampoos that might help with this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you have been dealing with scalp folliculitis for quite some time despite trying various medications. Based on the medications you have listed, I would recommend continuing with T.BACT SHAMPOO for its antibacterial properties to help with the infection in the hair follicles. Additionally, you can try using SALISIA KT SHAMPOO to help reduce inflammation and itching on the scalp. For oral medications, you can continue with CAP DOXT 100 MG for its antibiotic properties. In addition, you can try ISOTROIN 20 MG to help regulate oil production in the skin and prevent clogged pores. It's important to follow the prescribed dosages for each medication and to be consistent with your treatment regimen. If you experience any severe side effects or if the condition does not improve, it would be best to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
