I've noticed that my lunula is missing on all my fingernails except for my thumbs. I'm kind of worried if this could be a sign of some underlying health issues or if it's nothing to stress about. Any insights on what could be going on?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The absence of lunula on most of your fingernails could be due to various reasons, including genetics, trauma, or certain underlying health conditions. It is important to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking biotin supplements to support nail health

View allI'm worried that my hair is falling out because of the Acenac MR tablets I've been taking. Do you think it could be the cause? Also, is there any way to regrow my hair with medication? How can I reach out to you for advice?
Hair loss can be distressing! Acneac MR tablets, which contain minocycline, can contribute to hair loss as a rare side effect. However, it's essential to consult your doctor to determine if the tablets are the primary cause of your hair fall. Other possible causes of hair loss: 1. Hormonal imbalances 2. Genetics 3. Nutritional deficiencies (e.g., iron, zinc, or biotin) 4. Stress 5. Certain medical conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases) Can hair regrow with medication? Yes, in some cases, medication can help promote hair growth or slow down hair loss

I've been having this horrible itching that started in my hands, feet, and vaginal area about a week ago. I took levocetirizine for four days, and though it seemed to help a bit, the itching came back around day three. Now its spread to my upper back and chest. It's really uncomfortable and bothering me a lot. Could you please guide me on what might be happening and what I can do to relieve this itching?
Since you have already taken levocetirizine without much relief, I recommend trying a different antihistamine such as Fexofenadine (Allegra) or Hydroxyzine (Avil). Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion containing Calamine to the itchy areas for relief. If the itching persists, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my thin hair and I'm looking to increase its volume. I've heard about Follihair tablets and I'm wondering if it's safe to take them without a prescription. Also, how long would it take to see any effects if I start taking them? Could you please advise me on this?
