Hello, there can be many reasons behind it like
*physical or emotional stress, inadequate protein intake, genetics, anemia, aging, hormonal changes, prolonged illness, deficiency of vitamin b6 and folic acid, thyroid diseases.
*hair fall can also result when one indulges in too much dying, blow drying or use of hot curlers.
*dandruff can also be great cause behind hair fall.
Follow the tips *make a habit of 8-10 glasses of water daily. *eat healthy and balanced food like pulses, green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits and nuts etc. *eggs as it is loaded with essential nutrients such as proteins, vitamin b12, iron, zinc and omega 6 fatty acids in large amount. *add more vitamin rich food to your diet. *avoid stress and anger. *cut down the use of hair spray, hair gel.
*take a sound sleep.
*avoid too much exposure of your hair to sunlight. *avoid hot hair styling tools, as they damage hair and cause split ends.
*it is best not to comb the hair while it is wet as this leads to greater chances of hair breakage.
For medicine consult privately.

Dear, These are the causes of pimples:
• excessive sebum production (sebum is oily secretion from the gland).
• Due to hormonal imbalance.
These are the methods & instructions to avoid pimples:
• To control the sebum secretion you should maintain your hormonal level. Because imbalance in hormone level causes excessive sebum production and causes acne. So do not take stress and do exercise daily such as running, jogging and long breathing exercises.
• Use oil free face wash and drink 7 -8 glass of water daily. • Do not touch your pimple because your finger transfer bacteria to it and make it worse. If you touch it then clean your face with water.
* Take cucumber and papaya pulp. Mix it well and add 1 tablespoon Turmeric. Make a paste and apply it on face and leave it for 15 minutes.
• Use a face pack of fuller's earth (multani mitti) with rose water one time in a day for seven days. It removes toxins from skin.
* Take 2 teaspoon of RAKTASHODAK SYRUP of BAIDYANATH company once a day.
• Steam your face to open the pores, which in turn clear the skin. Steam your face for a couple of minutes.
• use a mild moisturiser for your skin.

Hi lybrate-user,
thank you very much for your query. Hair loss, now-a-days, is common among males and females of all age groups.
Hair loss is mostly genetic, so if hair loss runs in your family, you are most likely to suffer from hair loss too. Hair loss happens either in clumps, which is overall hair loss, or focused on any one part of head - especially the crown. While genetics play a big role, some additional factors can aggravate hair loss - hormonal imbalance, alopecia areata, stress, thyroid disease, anemia, protein deficiency, and low vitamin levels may cause hair loss in you. Oiling your hair with a mixture of oils like olive, sesame, coconut and castor oil provides moisture to your hair and prevents them from drying and breakage. At insta-sculpt we have advanced technologies like mesotherapy, derma roller and high frequency which can easily treat the hair problem. The treatment is safe, non surgical and non invasive without any side effects.
No. Of sessions and time period required depends on the chronicity and the type of hair. If you can send us your photograph, or have an audio or video consultation with us through skype, we will be in a better position to advice you. We would look forward to seeing you at any of our insta-sculpts center.

Dear lybrate user,
hair growth occurs in cycles. Each cycle consists of a long growing phase (anagen), a short transitional phase (catagen) and a short resting phase (telogen). At the end of the resting phase, the hair falls out (exogen) and a new hair starts growing in the follicle beginning the cycle again.
Normally, about 40 hairs reach the end of their resting phase each day and fall out. When more than 100 hairs fall out per day, clinical hair loss may occur.
Hair loss have many causes such as:- 1) shrinkage of the hair follicles due to the influence of androgenic hormones. 2) under-nutrition of the hair due to fungal infection on the scalp.
3) effects of radio therapy or chemotherapy.
4) nutritional deficiencies.
5) autoimmune diseases.
Modes of treatment for hairfall/alopecia includes surgical modes, oral medicine & local external application. The minimum duration of the course of oral medicines & external application is 6 months.
You can start the following medications:- 1) take 5 drops of homeopathic sulphur 200, once in a week.
2) take 5 drops of homoeopathic selenium 200 every morning before brushing your teeth.
3) take 4 tablets from biochemic natrum mur 6x tablets, thrice daily. Just chew the tablets as those tablets are sweet in taste.
4) take homoeopathic mother tincture acid phos q, 30 drops, twice daily, after meals, in a cup of water.
Kindly note that this medication may not be sufficient enough to take care of your problem. These medicines are based on the symptoms of your diseased condition & these medicines need to be complemented by further deep-acting remedies in order to permanently eliminate the underlying cause of the disease. So I would suggest you to consult me privately via lybrate as it is very necessary to diagnose the proper underlying cause of your problem if you are wishing for a permanent relief from your problems. A permanent annihilation of the underlying cause of the disease will not only provide you relief from your troubles but it will also cease any chance of further relapse of that particular disease condition.

First the skin examination is required along with further detailed symptoms so as to find the diagnosis and cause of the problem so that treatment can be given accordingly. Nevertheless homeopathy can cure in such cases.

For acne, juice therapy also helps. Here are some acne juice recipes that will help you deal with your acne problem.
Take about quarter honey melon and a bunch of watercress and juice both together. Drink this juice twice a day. In between make sure you drink plenty of water.
The juice of a medium-sized carrot combined with some spinach is also good for acne afflicted skin.
Easy to make among the acne juice recipes is cucumber juice. Cucumber juice helps to cool and calm your skin.
The acne diet seems to cure acne; however, there may be individual differences. To sum up, if you have acne, fruits and vegetables are extremely beneficial for your skin as they provide you with essential nutrients that keep your skin clear and healthy.
In addition to eating fruits that help acne, you can also make sure you take care of your skin and wash it with a soap that caters to acne prone skin twice a day.
If you do need to use make-up make sure you use a water-based products. Also, keep in mind that you do not pick or squeeze the acne or blackheads on your face. C.

Strectch marks occur due to sudden stretching or sagging of the skin. Stretch marks also depends on the elasticity of a person’s skin and the skin elasticity depends on the vitamins like vitamin E, omega 3 & 6. Strech marks take a long time to fade, so patience is the key to deal with stretch marks.
To lighten the appearance of stretch marks –
1.Scrub the area lightly once a day. You can use some natural ingredients like gramflour, turmeric mixed with some milk to scrub the area.
2.Apply Vitamin E oil or warm olive oil on the area.
3.Apply Aloe Vera gel once a day on the area

Heel pain in your mother's case is most likely due to plantar fascitis.
The treatment mostly is conservative and lifestyle modifications to achieve maximum functionality with minimum pain.
Follow these lifestyle changes religiously to get benefit.
1. Reduce body weight as obesity will aggravate the stress on heel.
2. Avoid exercises like running / walking on hard surfaces. Stop such activities when you start developing pain.
3. Roll your feet on bottle of cold water for 20 mins 4 times a day or can apply ice pack.
4. Use shoes with silicone sole inserts. 5. Do calf muscle and heel stretches daily. 6. Avoid prolonged standing or sitting. 7. Use night splint to keep foot flexed at night. Stop using it once pain is relieved.
8. Use analgesics like ibuprofen for decreasing pain and inflammation. With proper lifestyle changes as above
90 % patients have relief and functionality. Only 10% patients would require surgical intervention like plantar fascia release or gastrocnemius recession. For hair fall problem consult a trichologist or dermatologist.

The normal IgE levels fall below 100. Any level above 500 is higher and is suggestive of allergy or parasitic infection. She is currently having abnormally high levels. Her symptoms are suggestive of atopic or allergic dermatitis. It is usually seen secondary to exposure to allergen and subsequent reaction is mediated by IgE antibodies. Her body is known to hypersensitive to certain things. Stinging insects, Aeroallergens (uncommon), Foods and additives like Milk, egg, peanuts, nuts, soy, and wheat are the most common agents to cause such allergic manifestations. Measures for her to reduce IgE levels are- - The triggering factor should be identified and should be avoided. Even a skin allergy test can be useful. - Prompt treatment with anti histamines and glucorticoids during allergic attack. - New intervention has come up which you can discuss with your doctor, i.e. Anti- IgE (omalizumab) and is promising. I suggest you to consult to a skin specialist/ immunologist for further steps of management. Take care and regards.

5 hidden causes of acne, revealed!
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the openings of oil glands become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Acne usually appears on the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to disappear, others seem to crop up. Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and can also scar the skin. But what causes the recurrence of breakouts?
These are attributed to certain hidden causes, which are:
1. Your drug prescriptions
Steroids found in prescription drugs are a key offender, whether taken internally or topically. If taken internally, the offending ingredient will be listed as prednisone, which is the tablet form of steroid. Prednisone is used to treat inflammatory diseases like poison ivy, allergies and arthritis. If medications are taken topically, it could aggravate acne or cause steroid acne. Oral contraceptives are also a common cause of acne.
2. Your beauty routine
Acne caused by topical lotions, creams and makeup are known as acne cosmetica, commonly appearing on face, neck, hairline and scalp. Applying a product regularly to an acne-prone area can do more harm than good. Some people go to bed with ointments or oils in their hair that can get on the pillowcase and then rub on your face. It's best to put a clean towel over your pillowcase every night to prevent buildup.
3. Your cell phone
Cell phones gather all kinds of dirt and bacteria and are a big cause of acne on the chin and around the mouth. Wiping down the screen of your smartphones every day with alcohol or cleaning wipes will keep your phone and your face clean.
4. Using toothpaste to treat a zit
Certain toothpaste can actually cause you to develop acne or an acne-like eruption on the lower parts of your face, including your chin. Fluoride and other whitening and anti-cavity ingredients are quite abrasive and could potentially burn your skin, cause irritation and initiate breakouts.
5. Your workout gear
It's not the act of exercising that is causing breakouts but other issues. If you are using a communal yoga mat, you may be on the side that someone else's feet or perspiration had touched before, with the physical contact causing breakouts. It's best to put a clean towel over it before working out, even if it is your personal mat.
Also, workout gear that constantly rubs in a certain area can cause frictional acne. Constant rubbing ends up making you sweat, causing skin irritation and eventually developing into tiny red bumps. Though it looks like a heat rash, it is actually acne.
'consult'.
