GOOD HAIR CARE MAY HEAD OFF HAIR LOSS :
Do you skip the conditioner?
Dermatologist recommend using a conditioner after every shampoo. While a conditioner cannot repair hair, it can increase shine, decrease static electricity, improve strength, and offer some protection from harmful UV rays. This, in turn, can significantly improve the look of damaged or weathered hair.

ACNE FACTS AND EXPECTATIONS OF AN ACNE PATIENT :
When a patient of acne visits me , its a protocol to ask history or the patient usually starts telling herself or himself. In girls, Usual protocol is to investigate the causes like Polycystic ovarian disease(PCOD), Hyperprolactinemia etc and hence investigations play a very pivotal role in acne treatment ; otherwise the acne is cured only till you are taking treatment. Many a times , acne patients get scared by the list of investigations but one should understand the relevance and importance of these tests AS the hormonal changes are becoming very common in girls as well as ladies due to late marriages, late pregnancies and very importantly LIFESTYLE CHANGES. That’s why, PCOD is becoming very common in the age group of 16 – 40 years.
ACNE TREATMENT is a very long treatment AND DEMANDS A LOT OF PATIENCE & COOPERATION. There is no MAGIC OVERNIGHT. Acne takes 4 to 6 months to vanish completely and total duration varies between 9 months to 2 years (in hormonal imbalance/ PCOD PATIENTS). But as per the human nature, acne patient expects it to vanish overnight which UNFORTUNATELY NEVER HAPPENS AND patient becomes restless and impatient during the treatment.
Many a times, patient takes medicine, he feels dizziness, discomfort , loose motions, gastric pain--- do go to your DERMATOLOGIST FOR RECONSULT ---So that you don’t stop treatment in between . Don’t get disheartened. DO you know ---EVEN PARACETAMOL and ANTIALLERGICS (antihistaminics) CAN CAUSE WORST SKIN REACTIONS. SO, Revisit the doctor if you are having so many problems WITH YOUR PRESCRIPTION .

| ACNE--- DON'T SQUEEZE |
Another common issue is DARKENING OF SKIN with the gels prescribed by the doctor. Rarely gels can cause slight darkening of skin ; But it gets aggravated ‘coz patients usually don’t use their sunscreen religiously every 3 hourly as advised by their dermatologists.
One important complaint is DRYNESS OF THE SKIN –with ORAL & LOCAL APPLICATION MEDICATIONS . Do visit your dermatologist for that SPECIAL MOISTURISER FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN rather than stopping the treatment .
Try to remember the MOST IMPORTANT POINT--- Your dermatologist is also a human being. HE OR SHE CAN’T MEMORIZE ALL THE PATIENT’S NAMES / FACE / CASE HISTORIES when you call the doctor as he / she is treating so many patients everyday. YES DEFINITELY DOCTOR CAN TELL THE PATIENT AFTER THE PATIENT TELLS " the name of the MEDICINE" . If you are not satisfied on telephone as your dermatologist can’t recall everything WITHOUT ACTUALLY SEEING YOU IN PERSON OR PRESCRIPTION. NEVER FORGET YOUR PRESCRIPTION when you visit your doctor .
PATIENCE, COOPERATION , SINCERITY AND COMPLETE COMPLIANCE TO THE TREATMENT IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN ACNE TREATMENT.
