@neron Hello, You should once talk to your doctor once. Recurring acne can appear in all forms but it's usually cystic acne that reoccurs in the same spot which can be very frustrating as this is more of the severe and painful type of acne. Pimples may also reappear in the same place because a pore may have gotten scratched or injured and this injury makes it prone to getting re-infected. Picking on these zits can loosen the cell lining of the pore and cause the clogged oil to go deeper into the skin, creating an inflammatory reaction. Reasons for the same spot could be- That pimple might actually be a cyst that's still on the skin. Poor habits like resting your face on your hand for long period. There are many options on how you can treat or prevent that recurring acne aside from topical product treatments and habit changes.

@umalati Hello, For treating mild acne with rosacea, topical metronidazole is usually the first-line treatment and has proven to be a very effective and cheap way to control the red spots. Topical metronidazole is available as a cream, emollient, gel, or lotion. Other treatment options include using topical azelaic acid, isotretinoin creams, and oral antibiotics. Rosacea is a chronic acne-like skin condition that predominantly affects adults with fair skin. It can present with red discoloration, dry cracking skin, visible blood vessels, and/or pimples over the nose and cheeks.

@vdhavi Hi, the main cause of pregnancy hormone is increased hormone levels. The higher level boosts your skin's production of natural oils. It's hard to predict who will develop pregnancy acne. You have a higher risk, though, if you have a history of acne or have acne flares at the start of your menstrual cycle. Managing acne when you're pregnant can be tricky. That's because many prescription and over-the-counter treatments come with a high risk of birth defects. Pregnancy acne is a natural condition. It usually goes away when your hormone levels return to normal. The safest thing to do is to avoid any prescription acne medications or over-the-counter chemical spot treatments. Instead, you can rely on drug-free home remedies. Thanks!!

@kashv Hello, Minoxidil can most certainly help the frontal hairline and temples - especially in younger men and especially in the earliest stages of balding. Although it is called rogaine work on temples, all patients confirm that the best method for large and hereditary gaps is to transplant hair. You may not be able to prevent hair loss, but you can end baldness with hair transplantation.

@eale Hello, you can be allergic to certain chemicals, like fragrance, used in your toilet paper. This can cause a case of vulvitis, a condition that often shows up as itching, burning, redness, or swelling. If you notice these symptoms after using a new type of TP (especially if it's scented) switch brands. If toilet paper is scented, it could upset the pH balance and cause some irritation down there, especially if you have sensitive skin. It's best to stick with something plain and unscented. Thanks!

Hello, it is better to contact a dermatologist. Contact dermatitis or an allergic reaction is the most likely source of an itchy skin lesion. Ringworm infections by the tinea species of fungus can appear as dark itchy spots. Pityriasis Rosea can also present as a dark/red spot on the skin and spread for weeks before resolving. Therefore, you will need to be examined by your primary care physician or a dermatologist to determine the cause of your lesions. Thanks!!

@mendra Hello, you should consult a doctor. Itching may be most noticeable at night (nocturnal), during the day, or both. When there are itching symptoms, there can be a leathery or scaly texture to the skin depending on the cause.Itching can be caused by toxins on the skin. Itching can also be caused by medication. As you said you had this issue last year, so do visit a good dermatologist as itching could be a symptom of diseases like skin cancer, kidney, and liver diseases. Please consult a doctor. Thanks!

@heinrike Hello, it might help you. Acne has many causes, and every person’s skin is different. But there’s significant evidence to support the idea that dairy can irritate or cause acne for some people. Dairy cows are treated with artificial hormones that affect their milk supply. Those hormones may throw your hormones off balance when you consume milk products. This could trigger acne. Acne isn’t always going to have a connection to dairy, but it’s worth experimenting with your diet to find out how dairy affects your skin. Speak to your doctor or dermatologist if you have questions about the link between your acne and dairy intake. Recurrent breakouts can occasionally be an indicator of a bigger health issue as well. Don’t assume that your acne is something you should overlook or try to ignore. Thanks!

@zter It seems like you are suffering from acne vulgaris. Acne vulgaris is characterized by comedones, papules, pustules, and nodules on the face, upper chest, and back. However, as you are past the age of puberty and your acne appeared three months ago when you first started taking birth control pills. Birth control pills that contain high levels of synthetic progesterone analogs are more prone to cause acne because they can mimic male puberty hormones. Synthetic progesterone cause increase oil production in your sweat glands to induce acne formation on your face, upper chest, and back. Therefore, it appears that the best way to treat your recent onset of acne would be to change your oral contraceptive pill to a formulation that has less progesterone or a newer version of synthetic progesterone. certain birth control pills have been proven to improve acne in women. These estrogen-progestin combination birth control pills have a newer version of synthetic progesterone that doesn’t induce oil production. you should visit the doctor who prescribed you the birth control pills for an evaluation and possibly switches to a different birth control pill.

@iila Hello, There are many causes of hair fall like stress, vitamin deficiency, anemia, dandruff, previous illness, excess perspiration, etc. The root cause of hair fall needs to be treated to cure completely. Some hairstyles and hair care habits can damage hair, leading to hair loss. If your dermatologist finds that this may be causing your hair loss, your dermatologist can recommend changes that will help you stop damaging your hair. If your blood test reveals that you’re not getting enough biotin, iron, or zinc, your dermatologist may recommend taking a supplement. If you’re not getting enough protein, your dermatologist can tell you how to boost your intake. You should only take biotin, iron, or zinc when your blood test shows that you have a deficiency. If your levels are normal, taking a supplement can be harmful. Thanks!

@karne Hello, Yes. Azifine is used to treat various bacterial infections of the respiratory system (like pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and sinusitis), skin infections (like acne and rosacea), and ear infections, and sexually transmitted infections. Please stop taking Azifine. You are right that taking antibiotics for too long causes resistance. You can go in for chemical peels along with local applications so that acne can be controlled. Thanks!

@madhar Hello, The spots are also associated with certain skin conditions and can be a side effect of some medications. The skin lesions you are describing could be directly related to Crohn’s Disease but it can also be secondary to a vitamin deficiency secondary to malabsorption. One of the more commonly described vitamin deficiencies due to Crohn’s disease is Vitamin B deficiency. The symptoms and severity of the disease vary with the extent of vitamin deficiency. You should visit dermatologist to determine if your dermatitis is secondary to a vitamin deficiency or a systemic process.

@onde Hello, Female alopecia is often quite distinct from male hair loss. The common culprits can be genetic, stress-induced (dieting, surgery, childbirth, etc.), medical conditions (thyroid disorders, anemia, chronic conditions, etc.), as well as direct damage (hair coloring, hair products, hair styling, etc.).
Here are some tips to keep your hair and scalp healthy:

Washing your hair daily can strip it of protective oils. Wash your hair every other day and once or twice a week during the dry winter months. Use a mild moisturizing shampoo Try not to blow dry your hair as excessive heat can damage the hairs and follicles. But if you must, keep it at a cool temperature and hold it at a comfortable distance from your head. Avoid hair products such as spray creams, gels, or lotions as they may clog the hair follicles and damage the hair themselves. Avoid hair coloring, perming, and straightening as the chemicals and heat damage the hairs as well as your follicles. Eat healthily and exercise.
You may also consult a dermatologist or physician specializing in hair care to be evaluated and discuss your options. Thanks!

@eira Hello, It is not uncommon to have this reaction to hormonal changes that occur with your cycle. However, douches, topical sprays, etc. are not recommended. They can disturb the natural balance that keeps infection down. Yeast infection after the period is due to High levels of estrogen causing Candida fungi to overgrow. Because of this, it's common to get a yeast infection around the time of your period. Some people get yeast infections around the same time of their cycle every month, a condition called cyclic vulvovaginitis. You may try eating yogurt every day - the kind with active cultures. Some women find it helps. Wear only cotton underwear and avoid perfumes, bath oils, etc. Also, discuss this with your doctor. Thanks!

The most important thing is to get your thyroid studies done. Hypothyroidism can lead to dry skin and listless hair.
