Thank you so much for uploading your talk Sir. A few doubts Sir, should a person with naturally black hair put henna to keep the colour and does it prevent greying? If one is consistently using a henna product without any undesirable side effects, it can be continued right? And how long it will take for the contact dermatitis to develop?
Hi doctor I would be very happy if you answer I have been using tropical minoxidil for 9 months. As I used it, my hair became thicker. However, I switched to oral minoxidil about 6 months ago and I have been experiencing intense hair loss for 6 months. Most of them are small and thin hairs. I stopped oral minoxidil. And switched to topical minoxidil. It's still falling out. What can I do?
Jesus said "salt is good" and it is! Thanks to God and the Dr.'s advice, today, one week after starting the salt treatment, the granuloma disappeared. thank you so much!!
How much Vitamin A would equal 10 mg and how much 20mg Isotretinoin a day? Cuz i took 20mg for 7 months against my SD and quitted the Iso now and wanna change to Vitamin A
Thanks. Im sure hoping this works for me; starting now. Have had it for a month after an injury to my chin. Got fed up applying herb creams and squeezed it, and its been bleeding 4 hours with no let up even with pressure and ice.. Will let you know.
I have ichthyosis vulgaris my hands and feet have looked old since I was born. My skin is extremely dry. I have to exfoliate my skin at least once a week. I also have keratosis vulgerus. When I was a kid I was made fun of for my hands and feet. I use amlactin along with exfoliate but have recently bought urea cream. I’ll see how that works.
Sir, my wife has 5-6nos of 1mm~2mm white/hypopigmented spots on her thighs..Not increasing in size atleast for 2months. Kindly suggest, if it is vitiligo?
Hello doctor,I'm a girl and my doctor prescribed me with 2.5mg oral Minoxidil and aldactone 50. Should I start it?..and I'm quite scared of hypertrichosis side effect.
I've never been diagnosed with this skin condition but I know that this is what I have. I'm 69 years old and I've had this for many years on both my legs and my eczema only makes matters worse. I'm glad I found your video. Thanks for your information.

I developed severe hyperpigmentation after a chemicall burn, all over my face, its been 2 years the pigmentation slightly lightened but for the most part it is visible, can i use trenaxemic acid and see changes?
Tranexamic acid has been used mainly for melasma and other conditions mentioned in the video. It’s probably worth trying in other conditions like mentioned in your question. Tinted sunscreens are also very important to prevent further worsening of the pigmentation. Here is a video on it. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u3cPL4T1g3c.html Here is another video on other treatments for facial pigmentation m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nCAI4PE073k.html

what is the process to switch from Mintop Forte 5 percent to oral minoxidil 5mg without shedding?I have to completely stop using topical and want to switch to oral minoxidil 5mg.
There is no particular regimen suggested in the literature. One option may be to gradually introduce the oral minoxidil and then once both are established, gradually reduce topical minoxidil and stop it.
Before I used to take minoxdil oral 0.625mg n finastried 1mg n topical minoxdil 5% I used.. now I stop topical and increase oral the dose of 2.5mg minoxdile, is it possible?
The main treatment is to avoid synthetic hair dyes. I will be posting a video on the various natural hair dyes available, so look out for it. Here is a video on how coffee can be used as a natural hair dye. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ee8E522jAkI.html
In higher doses oral minoxidil is an anti hypertensive. Most studies for hair disorders tend to use low dose minoxidil, which is 5mg a day or less. Here is a more comprehensive video on the topic. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0cqHMW7hsgM.html
@@DiscoverDermatology hello sir I hv watched that video and I hv got it that 10 mg doses is not a good option. But nearby me oral minoxidil is available in 10mg tablet strip. So can I take it alternate days ?? Plz reply bcoz now am so confused 😕
I was searching for a comprehensive video for hidradenitis and I just finished watching your in depth video! I am sure that will really help my general practice. Sir I have a few questions, does using emollients during shower instead of soaps or fresh yogurt (1 tablespoon) with 1 drop of tea tree oil for cleaning - do you think it may help in mild cases? I love curd +/- tea tree oil on acne prone skin (for maintaining a smooth skin). Sorry if I just asked something utterly foolish!
Thanks for your kind comment. There have been no specific studies done on yogurt or tea tree oil for this condition. I guess it may be helpful in some. Scientifically, it would be great if a proper clinical study can prove its effectiveness.
I think this is very interesting. Like UK, sublingual minoxidil is not available in Norway. However, I have testet to put an oral minoxidil under the tongue and it disolved quite easy. Probably far as easy as sublingual, but it was ok. So my question is, could this work out to put the oral minoxidil under the tongue?
