Question 1

I've been experiencing itching on my hands and legs for the past week, but there's no redness or visible spots on my skin. It seems to start the day after I drink alcohol and hasn't stopped since. I checked online, and it suggests that internal illness might show up first as itchy skin. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Itching on hands and legs without visible redness or spots, triggered by alcohol consumption, could be related to various internal factors, such as liver or kidney issues, allergic reactions, or nutrient deficiencies, and while Google searches can provide insights, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for personalized evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment, as they will likely order blood tests, medical history, and physical examination to determine the underlying cause of your itching sensation.

Question 2

Can I use Keto B ointment on my scalp for itching and gaps between my hair? Is it harmful or safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Keto B ointment, containing ketoconazole, can be used for scalp itching and fungal infections, but for hair gaps, it may not be directly effective; it's generally safe when used as directed, but potential side effects include skin irritation, itching, or dryness; consult a dermatologist before using Keto B ointment on your scalp, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.

Question 3

I'm 25 and I've been noticing I'm losing hair around my forehead, and my hair is getting thinner every day. It used to be really thick all over my head. I'm pretty worried about this. Could you suggest what I can do to help with this problem?

Accepted Answer

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing male pattern baldness. I recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of your scalp. Additionally, you can take Finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to help with hair regrowth. These medications can help slow down hair loss and promote hair growth. It is important to use them consistently for at least several months to see results.

Is lemon good for hair?

Lemon is usually used in hair oils and shampoos. But directly applying it may irritate the scalp skin. Do a patch test before applying it.
