Question 1

I've gone through a couple of PRP sessions, but my hair fall still isn't under control. It even looks worse now. How long does it usually take for PRP to start showing results in terms of controlling hair fall and promoting regrowth?

Accepted Answer

PRP (Platelet-rich Plasma) therapy typically requires 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results, and it may take 6-12 months to notice significant hair regrowth and reduction in hair fall, but individual responses vary, so consult your doctor to reassess and adjust your treatment plan, and consider combining PRP with other hair loss treatments, such as minoxidil or low-level laser therapy, for enhanced efficacy

Question 2

Hey, I was prescribed gris odt 250mg for a fungal infection on my back. But when I went to get it, they gave me grisovin FP 250mg because they were out of stock of the original one. I'm a little worried and just want to know if it's okay to use this as a substitute? Can you help me out here?

Accepted Answer

Grisovin FP (250mg) is a suitable alternative to Gris ODT (250mg) for fungal infections since they have the same active ingredient (Griseofulvin) and similar formulation (oral tablets). Consult your doctor and monitor your response to the medication.

Question 3

I've been dealing with sinus issues for two years now and to help with the headaches, I've been using Zandu Balm on my forehead. But over the past year, I've noticed that part of my forehead has turned completely black. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can stop this from happening?

Accepted Answer

The use of Zandu balm on your forehead for an extended period has led to a condition called "contact leukoderma" or "chemical leukoderma."

What is Contact Leukoderma?

Contact leukoderma is a condition where the skin loses its pigmentation due to exposure to certain chemicals or substances. In your case, the prolonged use of Zandu balm has caused the skin on your forehead to lose its pigmentation, resulting in the black discoloration.

How to Avoid Further Discoloration?

1. Stop using Zandu balm: Immediately discontinue the use of Zandu balm on the affected area to prevent further discoloration.
2. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess the affected area and provide guidance on treatment options.
3. Use sun protection: Avoid exposing the affected area to direct sunlight, as this can worsen the discoloration. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outdoors.
4. Avoid further irritation: Refrain from using harsh skin care products, exfoliating, or using hot water on the affected area, as this can cause further irritation and discoloration.

what is eczema

A skin condition that causes patches of itchiness, inflammation, swelling, and cracked skin.
