Question 1

I'm having some swelling and pitting in my left lower limbs, and it's been really bothering me. I've already done a sugar test, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. The venous scan suggested it might be cellulitis or edema. I'm a bit worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand what might be going on and what steps I should take now?

Accepted Answer

The swelling and pitting edema in your left lower limb, with scanning results suggesting cellulitis or edema, may indicate a vascular or infectious issue; consult primary care physician for further evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics, compression therapy, and elevation.

Question 2

I'm noticing that around 20 of my head hairs are turning grey, and my beard has started greying too. I've heard about Kerablak tablets, specifically the 200 mg ones, and I'm wondering if they are effective for grey hair. Could you suggest if they're good or if there's another tablet I should consider? I really want to understand my options for dealing with this greying issue.

Accepted Answer

Kerablak tablet is not specifically indicated for treating grey hairs. However, you can try using a supplement containing Biotin, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C to help maintain healthy hair pigmentation. Additionally, using a hair colorant can help cover the grey hairs.

Question 3

I've been feeling really itchy under my breasts and in my groin area, especially since winter started here in Pune. It's getting pretty uncomfortable. The skin has turned this odd dark brown color, and it's kind of awful now that its even up to my cleavage. I'm wondering if there's some home remedy I could try to sort this out, or should I be talking to a specialist about this?

Accepted Answer

This could be a fungal infection, such as Tinea corporis (ringworm), which commonly affects these areas due to warm and moist conditions. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Keep the areas clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton clothes to allow the skin to breathe. Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen despite home remedies, it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
