Question 2

I've been noticing tiny pin pricks on my hand nails for the past month and I'm getting worried. Last December, I had a preventive blood test done and it showed I have a folic acid deficiency. Could this be causing the pricks? I'm also on Telsar 40 fo...

The tiny pin pricks on your hand nails could be due to the folic acid deficiency you have. Folic acid deficiency can lead to changes in the nails, such as brittle or fragile nails with small depressions or tiny pin pricks. The exact cause of your folic acid deficiency could be related to inadequate dietary intake, poor absorption in the gut, or increased demand for folic acid in conditions like hypertension or due to medications like Telsar 40. To address the folic acid deficiency and improve the condition of your nails, you can consider taking a folic acid supplement such as Folvite 5mg once daily after consulting with your doctor. Additionally, make sure to consume a diet rich in folic acid, including green leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts, and fortified cereals. It's also important to continue monitoring your blood levels of folic acid and other essential nutrients regularly. If the pin pricks on your nails persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Scalp psoriasis is a skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the scalp, while dandruff is a common condition marked by flaking of the scalp skin. To treat scalp psoriasis, you can use medicated shampoos containing coal tar, salicylic acid, or ketoconazole. In addition, topical corticosteroids or calcipotriene can be applied to the affected areas.

Question 4

I'm worried because I noticed this white thembal thing on my baby's face. Is this some kind of infection, or could it just be normal for infants? What should I do to treat it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your infant may have oral thrush, which is a common fungal infection in infants. The best treatment for oral thrush in infants is usually an antifungal medication called Nystatin oral suspension. You can apply a small amount to the inside of your baby's mouth several times a day. It's important to continue the treatment for the full course prescribed by your doctor, usually around 7-14 days, even if the symptoms improve before then. Additionally, make sure to sterilize pacifiers, bottle nipples, and any other items that may come into contact with your baby's mouth to prevent reinfection.
