Question 1

I've had vitiligo for the past three months and I'm really worried can stress actually cause it? Also is surgery an option to treat my patches? They're spreading and I don't know what to do

Accepted Answer

Yes, stress can play a role in both the development and progression of vitiligo. While not the direct cause, stress can trigger or worsen vitiligo in individuals who are genetically predisposed or have other risk factors. Surgery, including skin grafting or melanocyte transplantation, is a treatment option for vitiligo, particularly for areas with stable disease and where other methods have not been effective

Question 2

I've been losing a lot of hair lately, especially during washes and combing. I think it's partly due to the water in Kolkata since it has a lot of iron. Can you recommend a good shampoo for my situation? Also, I'm dealing with health issues like PCOD and low hemoglobin. I'm currently taking Livogen Z, Follihair tablets, and some Ayurvedic medicines like Kanchanaar Guggul and Triphala Ras for ovarian cysts. How long should I continue with the Follihair and Livogen Z? I've also straightened my hair recently, and I've lost a lot in the front. Really worried about how much hair I'm losing, any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

-Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo with chelating agents to counter iron buildup in the waterlook for ones labeled for "hard water." Continue Follihair and Livogen Z for at least 3-6 months or as advised by your doctor. Avoid frequent heat treatments an

Question 3

I've been struggling with ringworm under my breast and near the vaginal and seat area for a while now. Ive tried a bunch of creams, but nothing seems to work. Its been about six months, and now my baby has it too, and so does my husband. Its really itchy and there are these red circles. What else can I do to get rid of this? Can you suggest anything that might help cure it for good?

Accepted Answer

Oral antifungal medications like Fluconazole (Diflucan) may be prescribed by a doctor. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've heard a lot about dairy products causing acne. I'm wondering if I should stop drinking milk to avoid getting pimples. I don't eat chocolate, cheese, or butter, but I do drink a glass of milk every day. Will that lead to breakouts? Should I cut back on milk?
