Hi,

I am Dr. Gunjan Agarwal, Dermatologist. Today I will be discussing fungal infection. What all are the causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention. Now I will be discussing causes. It is common in obese individual, hot and humid climate condition, diabetic patients, patients on steroids. It is very common in asthma patients as they usually take steroids, therefore, their immunity is comparatively lower. Same is with diabetic patients.

Now we will discuss symptoms. It can happen anywhere in the body. But most common sites are skin folds like breast, thighs. Symptoms will be like itching, scaly, circular lesion. One should have separate clothes to avoid touch, bedding. Now, what are the treatment and preventive methods? There are many kinds of anti-fungus available in the form of a tablet, capsules, cream, ointment, powders. Fungal treatment needs at least 2-6 weeks or maybe more.

Usually, patients stop the treatment as soon as they see good results and they get the problem again. So, it is very important to stick to the treatment and do not stop taking medicines until your Dr advice. Do not take over the counter medicines. They give you steroid creams. And you will feel better but it is not good for the long run. Always consult a Dr for the problem. Keep your body dry, wear cotton and airy clothes. Take proper treatment and maintain proper hygienes.

Thank You!

Hi! I am Dr Gunjan Agarwal. Today I will be discussing hair fall. Now, what are the causes of hair fall? It includes stress, some deficiencies, hormonal imbalance and hereditary. What is the treatment for hair loss? There are four kinds of treatment. First is medicinal, second is PRP, third is Mesotherapy and fourth is a hair transplant. First, we will discuss the medicinal treatment. Medicinal treatment includes Biotin treatment. Apart from biotin treatment, there are many other trace substances which are required for perfect hair growth. So, we preferably give a cocktail of multiple vitamin minerals and some trace elements and apart from that, we have some topical medication as well. This includes minoxidil, a US FDA approved the drug for hair loss and it has to be given with some amino peptides or with some other drug to prevent side effects from minoxidil. It includes sub follicular fibrosis and withdrawal side effects. The moment you stop applying minoxidil, pre-treatment conditions arises.

So, minoxidil has to be given with some amino peptides and other drugs. The second option is the PRP. PRP is we take out 10 ml of blood from the patient and extract blood factors, growth factors out of the blood and directly inject into the patients. Next is mesotherapy. Mesotherapy is artificially driven cocktail of multiple nutrients vitamins and minerals. It is artificially given. That is the difference between PRP and mesotherapy. We directly inject that artificial cocktail of multiple ingredients to the patient's follicles. Last is a hair transplant. It includes relocation from the donor area to the recipient area. It has very good results on smooth shiny skin and rests all the treatments are not effective on smooth shiny skin. It has no side effects as you are getting your own hair back and it has no side effect on your brain as well because your brain is under your skull. It is not exposed and we are working on the skin only so it has no side effects and it is a very effective treatment for the patient who has smooth shiny skin and they want their youthful look back. Thank you! I hope this video is helpful.
