Health Query

Currently I am using nu revo sebum control moisture at morning and tretinoin cream usp 0.02%w/w for 30 min at night. For facewash I use cetaphil gentle skin cleaner once in morning. Also sometimes when my face gets too dry at night I use cetaphil moisturizing cream but whenever I use it I have noticed that the next morning I get pimples over my forehead and cheeks. My face is of mixed type, middle forehead, nose and chin are oily and rest of the face normal type. I have heard a lot about minimalist brand and it's retinol, multipeptide, vitamin c, alpha arbutin, niacinamide, hydrolic acid, salicylic acid should I inculcate them in my daily routine. If yes then what should be used and at what time of the day. Also currently I am not using any sunscreen, so should I also include that in my daily routine and how to use it?

Asked for female, 20 years old from Delhi

Hii I am a 20 yrs. Old girl. Day before yesterday I was having a pimple on my forehead and so I applied himalaya neem facewash in night and left it for whole night. When I woke up yesterday morning I found that the part around the pimple got red and it was burning from inside. Then I consulted to a doctor on doc prime. She prescribed me silver nitrate gel 0.2% w/w (silverex) and allegra tablet. I applied it yesterday twice on the affected area. Then the affected area got darker in colour but the burning from inside is less. So what should I do? Should I apply it or change it?

Darkening of the spot could be due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and may decrease over time but there are some precautions you should take and other topical creams can help to lighten the darkened area. Moreover you may benefit from antiacne treatment depending upon how many pimples and how frequently you are having these.

Terbinafine is the treatment of choice in tinea infection. it may two weeks to show improvement and a prolonged therapy may be required to prevent relapse.do not use clob-mg cream.

Measures to prevent recurrence of Jock itch include weight reduction (if obese), wearing less occlusive clothing, drying thoroughly after bathing, using topical antifungal powders, laundering contaminated clothing, and treating concomitant onychomycosis or tinea pedis if present.

I need the second opinion for my old aged mom (almost 95 years). She is suffering from all these symptoms those are mentioned below. Loss of appetite means she doesn't have the same desire to eat as she used to. Signs of decreased appetite include not wanting to eat, unintentional weight loss, and not feeling hungry. The idea of eating food may make she feels heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux) as if you might vomit after eating. She is mostly indigested whatever she takes. I am worrying she might get gastrointestinal (gi) bleeding, sometimes. She is taking pantocid 10 mg (a.c.) half and an hour before every meal. Her lung is filling with fluid (water) and she gets pulmonary edema and that make her feeling shortness breath and tightness is chest and get chest pain as well. She is taking lasix (furosemide) 10 mg (q.d.) to get rid of that extra fluid retention. She gets hypertension (high blood pressure) and is taking amlodipine (norvasc) 5 mg b.i.d. And for the heart related issues, she is taking metaguard 20 mg, monotrate 20 mg (1 tablet each) a.c. When she is taking the lasix, we have to put on hold for the (amlodipine). When the cardiologist took her the e.c.g and angiography (echocardiogram), he found the narrowing of the pulmonary valve opening i.e. Pulmonary stenosis. Firstly, he suggested us to do the pulmonary valve replacement. Due to her weakness and older age, the doctor is recommended to do so. Again, the doctor mentions she might get the chest pain due to her vitamin-d deficiency. It causes the inflammation of the cartilage in the rib cage (costochondritis). She has to take pain killer to release and comfort herself. One or two months ago, she was admitted to the hospital due to her continuous chest pain and shortness and tightness of breath. Then she got fainted. May be she got mild heart attack. After the blood test and angiogram results, it stated clotting of blood in the heart. The blood clot completely obstructs a coronary artery supplying blood to her heart muscle. The doctor also stated magnesium deficiency is heart arrhythmia that was weakening her heart muscle. When her heart can't pump enough blood to meet her body's needs, blood flow slows which can cause clots to form. The doctor injected her blood thinning medication and kept her relaxed in the hospital for about two weeks with a nasal cannula attached to the oxygen supply. After that episode, her physician prescribes her clopilet a 75 mg (q.d.) for thinning blood to avoid the clotting of blood. Due to the medications, her liver gets much toxins, that make her histamine level is high can cause pruritus and dryness. She is always complaining the itchiness most of the time. Whenever she causes the episodes of angina in order to prevent the angina from occurring, we apply nitroglycerin spray to her several times either day or night. Is there any other option to release her chest pain? How about the oxygen therapy? What we should do for her great health. No one wants to see his parent severe suffering with great sorrow. Please assist me with your precious, valuable sound suggestion with earliest response. Thank you very much in advance.

I feel immensly sorry for all that she is suffering from. All that is you narrated is ageing issues. Multiple complaints one related to other mostly medication related. Vit d deficiency because she is not exposed to sufficient natural light. Electrolyte deficiencies due to certain medication. The cardiologist is doing there best, just follow his advise and be ready to accept the fact which are inevitable.

I have seen many woman’s turn to diabetic during the pregnancy. Is there any side-effect of the injections and medicines that I am taking which may turn into legitamte diabetic. I don’t feel any symptoms of being diabetic. I would strongly suggest that this case would be handled by those doctors who handled this kind of case before. I have also tried to visit the apollo Doc (name can’t be taken) but he started turning me to move into apollo hospital. Losing the patient and money every years with disappointing.

GDM or hyperglycemia in pregnancy need to be controlled by
Diet, medicines and Insulin Your HBA1C is bit high. As you said you unable to tolerate Metformin which is routinely used in GDM. So the last resort is always Insulin. GDM can affect foetus or mother of not controlled. We use Mixtard Insulin too. Current regimen seems OK to me.
