Can Nutrient Deficiency Cause Small White Spots on Your Face?

Patient's Query

Is small white spots on whole face a sign of deficiency in some nutrients

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Spots on the face could be a sign of a disease, called vitiligo, associated with white color. This occurs when melanocytes, the cells which produce pigmentation in the skin, are destroyed by the immune system. The best option is to go to a dermatologist who has a lot of experience in the management of patients with vitiligo.

While cutting pubic hairs down there, I have cut myself from scissors. Can this cause tatnus. What should I do?

Female | 27

Tetanus disease comes with some toxic dirty cuts that make swallowing very hard as well as stiffness of muscles generally. Such people should ensure the scratch is germs-free by washing it with water and soap and then applying any antiseptic. One should also note that if you have not had any tetanus vaccination within the last ten years, make sure it is done as soon as possible to prevent further infections.

Hello doctor. I am rohit bisht. I am 18 years old. Please suggest me how to recover and stop hair whitening

Male | 18

Hair going white with age or being genetic is a usual thing. Skin problems and tension also cause this. Do something for yourself if under stress; take deep breaths maybe start doing yoga. Have a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals as they play a crucial role in preventing premature greying. If possible use plant-based dyes because they don’t contain harmful chemicals however; don’t forget to handle your hair gently while dying it so that you may not end up damaging it further.

Fordyce spots are the glands which are present in everybody. These are normal and atomical structures that are more visible in few people and it is completely normal to have them. First it is advised to avoid treatment for the same. If somebody desires for cosmetic treatment then it can be taken care with radiofrequency ablation or carbon dioxide laser which will remove the glands.

Hello I am Vanitha Kotian and my hair is pretty dry and brittle.which shampoo, oil and conditioner do u recommend

Female | 52

dry and fragile hair can result from many reasons such as genetics, poor nutrition or surrounding. On the other hand, it is always advisable to see a dermatologist who can inspect your scalp and strands of hair in order to establish exactly what has caused this condition. They can then offer specific hair care products and treatments that address your needs.

My mother has developed red patches on skin all over her body. Initially it occurs as a small red patch and then it widens and spreads . These red patches have occurred on her neck, breast, tummy, legs, head, back, elbow , everywhere. She has also developed cuts on her finger. It itches and burns very much. What is the diagnosis of this skin disease?

Female | 55

Your description of the symptoms leads me to believe that your mother has a skin condition called eczema. Eczema is characterized by the appearance of red, itchy patches on the skin. It can be caused or aggravated by certain substances or environmental factors. To alleviate the symptoms, it is necessary to maintain the skin's hydration and avoid irritants. Using mild soaps and wearing comfortable, breathable clothes can also be helpful.

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.

I am 8 year old and have some kind of pimples on my elbow. First it was only on one hand but now it is increasing on the other hand also.

Male | 8

You may have a skin disease known as eczema. Eczema is a skin condition that develops itchy red lumps on the affected area. This case is common in children of your age. The reasons could be the problems of dry skin and allergic reactions. Use moisturizing lotion to keep your skin soft and stop it from itching. Sometimes the physician might prescribe a specific cream to help you with the itch.

Location of tinea: only back( upper back left side) WHITE PATCHES Area: one palm size. It neither increases nor decreases. No other symptoms. Please guide

Male | 23

Tinea versicolor can be treated with antifungal creams. Please apply it to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. If you don't see any improvement, please try oral antifungal. Also, keep the area dry and clean and avoid wearing tight clothes as this can make the affected area sweaty. If the problem does not go away still, please consult a doctor for the same.

As asked earlier that can I exercise if having fungal infection, but now my q is after 1 month of medication my fungal infection is recovered, but due to long use of medicines , stretch marks are visible so now can I exercise..?

Male | 17

It is usual for scars to show up when you are on medication for a long time. Now that the infection is gone, you can begin working out, but you need to take it easy. Stretch marks usually disappear on their own, but applying moisturizer to your skin can help. Always keep in mind that it is your body that will determine the limits, and in case of any pain or discomfort, stop.
