There's no established consensus amongst doctors regarding whether it works or not, but some studies have claimed that it can be effective, so we will say that you can give it a try.
However, it's our responsibility to make you aware of all the risks involved, which by the way would come with any kind of treatment by default. So as PRP involves injecting your own platelet rich blood at the site where balding is observed, therefore injecting may cause injury to blood vessel, infection, calcification, or scarring.
Also, you may not be an ideal candidate for this treatment if you: are using blood thinners, is heavy smokers, or is guilty of alcohol/drug intake, and also if you have been diagnosed with these in past: acute or chronic infections, cancer, liver disease, skin disease, hemodynamic instability, hypofibrinogenemia, metabolic disorder, platelet dysfunction syndromes, systemic disorder, sepsis, low platelet count, thyroid disease.
If you wish to learn of what medical tests are crucial before you take you this treatment, the scope of this treatment in terms of different hair conditions, and the post-treatment regime to care for your hair, then our blog will be helpful for you - PRP Hair Treatment.
Lastly, we are also attaching our page which enlists surgeons who have a proven track record of success and a far better understanding of what this treatment would entail for you - Prp Treatment doctors in Delhi.

Iam 23 years of old male having oily skin,acni and pigmentations please tell serum, moisturizer ,facewash and sunscreen Please tell products names ????‍⚕️????‍⚕️

Male | 23

If you're dealing with oily skin, acne, pigmentation, or other skin issues, I recommend using "The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%" serum. This product helps reduce sebum production and acne occurrence. For moisturizing, try "Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30" to keep your pores clear. You might also like "Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash," which is gentle on skin affected by impurities. To protect your skin from sun damage, apply "CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30." These products can help give your skin a radiant appearance.

Hello I have been having a skin infection of something that looks like ringworm. It starts like a pimple and later widens into different sizes. It started appearing on my thighs and is now appearing on every other part of my body except my face and scalp. There are moments when my skin is void of any but on other periods it appears almost every where with a lot on my fingers and palms. It's been on and off for more than 10 years now. I've consulted several dematologist with each having a different diagnosis and prescribing different creams to be applied on the affected spots but those have not helped me in any way. I truly do not know what else to do. Please help.

Female | 27

Ringworms often spread and return if not treated well. Fungal infections love warm, damp body areas. Antifungal creams don't always work for severe and stubborn infections. I suggest seeing an experienced dermatologist. They can evaluate your unique condition much better and recommend medications or other treatments suitable for this.

Female | 4

Neither of these treatments is recommended for children under the age of 18. Chemical peels and laser treatments are not permanent skin whitening treatments. These treatments can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, but they will not permanently lighten the skin.

I'm 39 from Nigeria. I have a black, cone-like lump on the upper left side of my belly. It started as small bump some years back but with time developed to 2cm in diameter. It's very hard. I feel pain around it each time I'm nervous and itchy sometimes. I have had scan conducted but didn't reveal exactly what it's.. it suggested that Stony bump appears like degenerating Lipoma. .

Male | 39

This hard mass might be a lipoma, which is usually harmless and consists of fat cells. These growths mainly develop under the skin and grow slowly over time. Although it is good that you have had a scan, sometimes further tests are necessary for conclusive results. However, if it is very painful or bothers you a lot, consider consulting with a surgeon who may recommend its removal.

I am a 36 year old female and about 2 yrs ago a spot so small I thought it was a dot from a pen showed up on the side of the top of my finger. Since then it has gotten a tiny bit bigger but it's not round as when I first saw it. It looks like a dark line very small but when I flash a light on it I can see it's a line not round. Should I be worried?

Female | 36

You have a rather small dark streak growing on your finger over the last couple of years. It could be just a harmless mole or a skin tag, but it’s best to watch if it changes color, size or shape. Sometimes strange skin spots can be a sign of skin cancer. For safety’s sake, it’s always good to have it looked at by a dermatologist.

Infections, injuries, or even a blocked milk duct could be responsible for this. Nipple pain might also be caused by hormonal changes at times. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to relieve the pain but if it persists, see a doctor.

Some fungal infections may require stronger treatment so you should probably consult with a dermatologist for further advice.

Your skin problem might mean redness or pimples. Clogged pores, germs, or irritants could cause it. Use a mild cleanser to help. Don't touch your face too much. Look for salicylic acid in products. Stress and diet also matter sometimes. Drink lots of water. Try relaxing. Every person's skin reacts differently. If it doesn't improve, see a dermatologist.

Small Nodule on eyebrow

Male | 3 month

A tiny bump near your eyebrow is probably a cyst or a skin tag, which are common and not usually a concern. They can form from a clogged oil gland or a blocked hair follicle. If it’s not bothering you, it’s okay to leave it alone. However, if it grows bigger, changes color, or starts hurting, it’s best to have it checked out.
