Black vertical line on the right thumb of 2 yrs old boy. Line is growing as nail grows. It started in sept 2020 and by Feb line covered full nail. No nail trauma or any history of such line in family.

Male | 2

It is possible that the black vertical line on the boy's thumb nail is a result of a melanonychia striata, which is a linear nail melanin pigmentation. It is relatively common in children and is generally harmless. However, it is important to have it evaluated by a doctor, especially if it is growing, to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

Can you suggest to me the best hair transplant technique? And after my hair transplant surgery will I have to take off from my work for a few days??

Male | 32

The choice of the best hair transplant technique depends on various factors, including your hair loss pattern, donor hair availability, and your preferences. Two common methods are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUT involves removing a strip of the scalp for grafts, leaving a linear scar, while FUE involves individually extracting follicles, leaving minimal scarring. Regarding recovery, it's advisable to take a few days off work after the surgery. The initial recovery period typically involves some swelling, redness, and scabbing around the transplant area.

Greetings sir my daughter is four years old she was some what black with your suggestion I want her for skin whitening treatment which one is permanent for her chemical peel or Laser treatment please suggest me sir

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 am a 28 year female, with oily skin, having complaints regarding acne, acne scars, tanning, uneven skin tone and dullness. Can I get treatment options for my concerns as well as the cost so as to proceed further. Thank you!

Female | 28

There are many treatment options available to help address your concerns. You can choose from a basic skincare routine to more involved treatments such as laser treatments, chemical peels, light therapy, micro-needling, and laser treatments for acne scarring. These will work by stimulating new collagen in your skin, which can help reduce the appearance of scars. You can look into chemical peels, laser treatments, and light therapies for hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. These treatments can help to break down pigmented cells and stimulate new cell growth, which in turn can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. For dullness, you can look into facial treatments such as microdermabrasion, which can help to exfoliate your skin and reduce dullness. Cost of these treatments can vary widely, depending on the type of treatment you choose. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to get better treatment options.

Can I take omniclav 625 and oflox oz tablets in gap of one hour

Female | 30

Have in mind that Omniclav 625 and Oflox oz are antibiotics. The accurate methods to use it are necessarily by doctor's prescription. Waiting 1 hour before taking the other may not be the best idea. You should take care of following the directions to their specified methods of administration.

My mother had a small lump on her hand so can she take moxiforce cv 625 this medicine

Female | 58

Any lump or soft tissue can be due to many reasons like injury, inflammation, or even tumors. Moxiforce CV 625 is a medicine prescribed to treat infections, but without determining the exact cause of the lump, it is not advisable to use it. It is more preferable to have a doctor to check the lump and decide which is the best treatment.

I am 24 years old and by mistake I Swallow cool lip. What should I do? It is dangerous or not ?

Male | 24

Accidentally gulping a cool lip gloss can be­ a bit worrying, but do not panic. Small amounts of lip gloss are usually okay to swallow. If you do not feel trouble­ breathing or bad stomach pain, you will likely be fine­. Drink some water to help wash it down your throat. Howe­ver, if you start feeling unwe­ll, contact a doctor for guidance right away.
