Asked for male, 23 years old from Mumbai

Jock itch since 4 months, conditioned worsened. Applied clotrimazole before and now switched to ciclopirox candidox. Itching has increased, and due to mumbai sweat, redness has increased. Need a cream which also has antifungal like azoles and also anti-itch properties. Thinking of applying abzorb t during day and butenafine (butop) at night (with coconut oil and kapoor to avoid itching). Itching and sweating are two issues that worsen my infection. thank you.

Recurrences of jock itch can be because of 3 reasons:
1. Incomplete treatment: jock itch can take 3-6 months to cure. Kindly stick to the treatment suggested and do not stop treatment until your dermatologist recommends. 2. Fungus can stay in cloths, toilet seat, nails and cause reinfection. Therefore, follow all the precautions given in this video url Be/gn6stgzn3lo
3 resistant infection. Again a dermatologist alone can help you in this case.

Asked for female, 24 years old from Pratapgarh

24yo female. Having diarrhea since an year. I don't need to use the toilet more than once but my stools are not the ideal type as per the bristol stool chart. They are. Like no 5 or 6. Eating even simple foods like cooked veggies and fruits triggers my problem. I am also severe hair fall since a year and was prescribed ketoconazole tabs in march. Had taken 20 of those. I am using ketoconazole and ciclopirox shampoo alternately as I have been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis. My eyesight is also getting weaker. Can't eat even subtly spiced foods. My weight is 47 and not increasing. Height 5.5 ft.

Health Query

I am 21 year old male and I had a dry skin and scalp for the past 6 7 years which in time lead to dandruff and then seborrheic dermatitis and eczema, flaky skin, red skin/ irritation on my face, scalp and other parts. I am getting treatments from different dermatologist since past 2.5 years and almost all of them always advised me different types of anti fungal containing ingredients such as ketoconazole, ciclopirox olamine, zinc pyrithione, salicylic acid, fluconazole, terbinafine, fluticasone etc in different forms such as shampoos, creams, sprays, tablets. Now the thing is that almost 80% of the antifungal does their work, cleans the flakes and rashes but as soon as I discontinue these products, all the symptoms and flakiness tends to come back the very next day. All of these antifungal cleans the flakes but they do not really help in stopping them from coming back. I am very frustrated right now because you can not really use tons of these every single day for the rest of your life (and you should not they have side effects). This one doctor gave me an adequate reason after the blood test was that my blood eosinophil count was higher (536) than normal range (40-440). I could really really use some treatment or advice regarding how to stop these symptoms from coming back, thank you.

Asked for female, 23 years old from Chennai

I've been suffering from dandruff and also the tiny pimples on my face for the past 2 yrs. I was advised to use take terbinafine tablets, sebifin cream followed by sebowash shampoo for treating dandruff and tretinoin cream for pimples. After some days I could find the difference. But after a month or 2, I'm getting the same problem. The doctor again prescribes the same. And I fear using sebowash too much as I feel that my hair is changing its original colour. I went to homeopathy then, I took scalpton tablets, which I found no beneficial results. Pls help me. I want a permanent cure. I'm 22 now. I'm literally stressed with this problem.

Firstly try to lead a stressfree lyf. For dandruff use ciclopirox composition shampoo such as cipla 8x thrice weekly. For acne use brevoxyl creamy wash thrice daily. Apply deriva bpo gel over comedonal acne & leave it overnight. Use a non comedogenic sunscreen like suncote gel once daily.

Health Query

I have a habit of pulling out my hairs by applying force (not too much but certainly its large enough. When I study I inadvertently pick up hairs. Usually one hair used to come but since I was diagnosed with dandruff I got 5 hairs in my hand which scared me. Is it a thing to worry? I do not have any symptom of balding though I have a very big forehead since childhood which leads me to my second question. I recently went to a doctor (hair transplant) I showed her how I have a big forehead but she said its not as large as I think but she said it can be corrected with transplant when I pressurize her if there is any solution. I am 21 years of age. I have not experienced balding. I did start to shed due to dandruff which the doctor identified and told me I had quite a lot of dandruff. Is it right to go for transplant now? It can certainly cure the problem yet I worry if its too early.

Hi
I can understand your concern
I would suggest you to first control your dandruff using various shampoos containing ketoconazole, zpto, ciclopirox as dandruff also aggravates the hair fall problem
secondly, your habit of pulling of hairs leads to balding sooner or later. This is called trichotillomania. We need to treat this otherwise even after the hair transplant we might face the problem of balding
after this if you wish to go ahead with the hair transplant you can, hope thi...more

Wash your face twice daily to remove impurities, dead skin cells, and extra oil from your skin's surface, avoid touching your face or picking up the pimples and blotches as it further spreads the bacteria. A dietary therapy with the right medications for pimples can also help a lot. Drink lots of water. You may use salicylic acid face wash. For scalp acne ,gently washing the scalp regularly with shampoo and warm water can help many conditions improve on their own. It is important to minimize irr...more
