Dr. Vlada Groysman answered:

I suffer from hairfall, androgenic alopecia! best treatment? In brief: Rogaine (minoxidil)

If you have been diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia by a physician, then i would suggest you use rogaine (minoxidil) foam for men twice a day.

I also advise patients to take vitamins such as biotin, not because it increases hair production but because it makes hair thicker and shinier and thus gives the appearance of more hair. Also, i would suggest talking to your physician about taking finesteride. ...See more

I am guessing you are speaking about alopecia areata.

You may get it at any age. It is an autoimmune condition. I recommend seeing your dermatologist for this.

5% minixodil foam works well in regrowing hair and keeping what you have.

However, you must continue using it twice a day.

Dr. Vlada Groysman answered:

Is there anything that can be done during or prior to the pregnancy to reduce patches of dark skin? In brief: Sunscreen

I am guessing you are talking about melasma as hormonally induce darkening of the skin.

There are several natural products that you can use such as soy as in aveeno (oatmeal) radiance, vitamin c serum such as in skinceuticals; i wouldn't do any bleaching creams during pregnancy. The best treatment is sunscreen with titanium and zinc not a chemical sunscreen. The higher the spf the better for melasma. ...See more

My son is ion claravis .He was prescribe 20mg twice a day. If it twice a day does it has to be every 12 hours? How many hours apart could he take it. In brief: With meals

Clarivis is only absorbed with a fatty meal.

Ideally up to 50 mg of fat per meal. I know that this is a lot, but i suggest patients take it with breakfast and dinner, not before bed. Since the medicine doesn't not absorb on empty stomach. ...See more

Lactic acid (amlactin) will help thin out some of the thickening that you are experiencing.

Prescription urea will help also. Weight loss is your best bet.

What is the best kind of non-prescription daily moisturizer with sun-screen in it for people with minor rosacea to use? In brief: Cerave am

I use it every day.

It has spf 30 in it. Since rosacea flares with sun-exposure you need to wear sunscreen daily. I also like elta md spf 46 and vanicream sunscreen, all formulated for sensitive skin. ...See more

Dr. Arlene Haywood's answer:

First aid for cat bite(suspected with rabies), amoxicillin and washing of soap on the area, 3rd day now, can it b possible stil for rabies?Pls reply In brief: Probably not

Domestic cats would be an unusual source of rabies- if you know where the cat is, just watch the cat- if the cat is well in 1 week- no risk of rabies for you.

If the cat dies, there is plenty of time to treat you for rabies. Amoxicillin will only not prevent rabies and is a poor choice to prevent local infection at the site. ...See more

Dr. Vlada Groysman answered:

I take around three-4 showers a day bc i work out a lot. I wash my hair about 4 x a day. I use dove soap to bathe with. Are their any risks? In brief: Dryness

3 showers a day is excessive.

You are stripping your skin of natural oils. I would limit it to max 2 showers. Moisturze after every shower.
