Suggest Treatment For Dry Skin, Acne And Hair Fall
Question: Hello, I seem to have very dry dehydrated skin(I could not live a day without moisturizing as the dryness suddenly becomes irritable as well. This dehydrated skin I feel over the time has also resulted making my skin look very dull as I had an fair complexion but not anymore.
I am constantly facing the problem with acne especially since few months all over my face. These acne are the ones with boils which are painful as well as leaves scars.
The paradox is I am the one who never opts for any cosmetic products else then basic moisturizing products because of dry skin.
Secondly,
Initially I never paid much attention but its so visible now that I am facing immense hair loss, I have a dry scalp and as my skin my hairs also seem so dehydrated and dull.
Overall my whole body skin is so dry which itself is so not soothing yet as a bonus I also facing rash pigmentation issues.
I am 21yrs and I almost take a healthy diet,drink plenty of water (improper sleeping regime of mine might be an issue though) I was facing skin pigmentation and similar issues quite often since ages,I always assumed that it might be because I have a sensitive skin but I don't know may be now I could see my severe hair thinning,skin degrading so I thought to seek some help.
{I have no idea that this could be informative but I thought to add that I recently had my blood test, hemoglobin and sugar test which all were normal}
Please tell me 1st: how to cure my skin(which burns and irritable being so dry)?
2nd: How to stop Hair fall and thinning?
3rd: How to overcome these acne and boils issues in my face and pigmentation issues over my body?

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
I will answer your queries in detail.
1 ) regarding your first query, some people inherently have dry skin. Usually they fall under an entity known as atopic dermatitis.
It is characterized by generalized dryness of skin. For this , I usually advice my patients to apply combination cream of vit E , aloe vera (like restoraderm cream) over semi wet body 2-3 times per day . Application over semiwet body will retain a layer of water over skin that provides suppleness to skin.
2) hair fall and thinning can be due to various reasons. I will like to know about the pattern of hair loss. Is it diffuse or in particular pattern like midline parting.
also tell me about your thyroid status.
3) for acne, various oral medications like doxycycline/ minocycline/azithromycin are given depending on grade of acne.
Various topical creams are also available.
Kindly upload pic of the lesions on face so that I can advice you accordingly.
Kindly get back to me with reply of the above questions and pic.
stay healthy.
