What are the supplements you take on a regular basis doc?
Dear doctor, would 1 mg oral minoxidil or 0.5 mg per day be enough for hair loss to see minimal or no side effects?
I am from srilanka. Sir you know any of doctors for this HS. I an from colombo. Plz mention any doctor to treat this hs
I have been an examiner for MD dermatology exams in Sri Lanka and visited there regularly. All the dermatologists there are excellent and are very knowledgable. Dr Jayamani Seneviratne was the main examiner when I visited Colombo.

Hello I used spironolactone tablets for my hair 1 year back. And it stopped my hair fall. But now my hairfall has started again. I just want to know that should i start taking it again??
If it has helped before, Spironolactone may be beneficial again. Oral Minoxidil isa other option. Here is a video on it ua-cam.com/video/JurJK_sSJAY/v-deo.html
Copper should be taken to restore Iron function
Copper usually interacts with zinc rather than iron absorption.
@DiscoverDermatology yes the Zinc / Copper ratio is critical...Copper deficiency or Copper being too low with cause problems with Iron ... a balanced trace mineral formula is advised
Recommend dosage also
The dosage is usually dependant on how much each person can tolerate. In the hospital setting, we prescribe 200mg tablets but many cannot tolerate it.
@DiscoverDermatology thankyou
Please make a video of the scientific proof of basen/gram-flour removing unwanted hair.

Hi sir iam from banglore iam suffering alupecaia areata 2 months on the scalp my doctor jakauto 5 mg n capidense roll on its good to for speed recovery
Various combinations can be used for alopecia areata and the one you mention is one of them. Here in the UK, we use Ritlicitinib. here is a video on it ua-cam.com/video/jYqZNxh1NLQ/v-deo.html
Hi Doctor. Such an informative video and such simple breakdown of this complex disease. Sir, I have been patient since 2 yrs, i have tried homeopathy, i have been good at that time, there was pus coming from my underarms continuously. After that I again switched to allopathy, and consulted with renowned dermatologist Dr. Sanjoy Ghosh from Kolkata (India). He has prescriped 40mg of aprelimast, in case of severity he advises me to take antibiotics (Claribid 250 twice).I do smoke moderately. Do you have any recommendations for me? I am really very perplexed about this. I was a hardcore gym enthusiast but now i cant do anything. Please help , doctor.
I also do apply Benzac Gel wash twice, and apply Oxenoacin cream, and Fucidin Cream, alternatively.
@@Uttu-k2u All the suggestions by your doctor seem very reasonable. In the UK, we use Lymecycline and then of though all the medications mentioned in the video one by one. There is no magic bullet. The best option may be to keep changing the treatment till the right combination is found.
I went from 2.5 oral minoxidil to 5.0 hopefully I will see a big change!
The beneficial effects er usually dose related
Dr ,is there any side effects?
Usually causes no side effects, as mentioned in the video. Sometimes tummy upset can occur
@@DiscoverDermatology Thank you
Does Vitamin D3(Cholecalciferol) block the absorption of iron? Does vitamin D3 & iron compete for absorption? Can I take vitamin D3 & iron supplements together?
As far as I am aware there is no interaction between the two in absorption. Vitamin D is usually taken after a full fatty meal though. Here is a video on how to take vitamin D ua-cam.com/users/shortsOG8GybUsZhU
Hi doctor Yesudian, Thanks for all the great info you're sharing,we are following them and you deserve a ❤. I have a problem that i want you to help me with from India, Andhra Pradesh. Female 32yrs,not married. HS suferrer since 2 years.(Diagnosed by a derm) Not too bad, may be mild case, but still they are paining and causing great inconvenience. Having flares on groin,perianal area,very few in armpits,now recently started getting in butt clevage. No PCOS, regular periods. (Earlier 5-6 years before,for severe acne used Isotretinoin and had excellent response despite side effects like drying face and broken lips.) Now again I'm getting acne again, which are not getting controlled by topicals like Clindamycin. Now used some antibiotics like Amoxicillin CV now and then and has been on Doxycycline 100 mg for about 3 months,flares are not getting infected but still flaring. Having Laser hair removal sessions. Just this last month observed that flares just happened 5 days before my periods with previous 20 days of no flares. Can we think they can be linked to hormonal component? Can Spironolactone be used? I asked my derm for any tablet that can be used regularly..she didn't prescribe any.. Then i headed towards an endocrinologist yesterday as they work with hormones,to ask spironolactone be prescribed for me. She said NO and she says its for PCOS and all,but she never heard it been used for HS. I'm left in cross roads junction now. Can i use spironolactone? At what dosage? Please help.. Thanks!
Is possibile that oral minoxidil working better than the sublingual one in patience who dont work sult1a1 enzyme?
It's certainly a possibility but more studies are required.
can you explain the part where we have to be low potassium diet , i am working out so part of my diet includes carbs such as patato what else we should be careful of?
In normal adults who are less than 40 years without underlying medical conditions, we do not need to worry too much about potassium levels in any food.
@@DiscoverDermatology thank you!
Bro this shit really works and it works in 2 days
Excellent, glad it was helpful!
How do I connect with you sir, I have senior citizen with skin disease and would like to share the information with you. If possible, please respond

Very good Scientific programme very useful for medical practice Thanking 🙏 you Congratulations to you Sir 💐
Thanks a lot Rajagopal!
Can this be cured completly
If all the underlying factors are addressed it can reduce the pigmentation.
This is working, but i have gained water weight or water retention. How do i tackle this side effect doctor?
Sometimes, we add oral Spironolactone to reduce side effects from oral minoxidil. Here is a video on spironolactone and how it can help hair loss too ua-cam.com/video/d3iYSFRDbV0/v-deo.html
Thank you! I will be sticking with licensed nail technicians to install my nails!
Thats a very good idea!
Hi, a question: how can that be that my hemoglobin is high - 16.5, and my ferritin is low - 35! I often feel exhausted and sleepy, especially after a meal! (I am on trt) Thanks in advance!👍🏻
I have the same issue.
@Veronica-tn2xc But no one has an answer to that☹
@@daviddavid1057 I've seen 4 hematologists and they only send bunch of blood work and pills. Me ferritin is now in 8. I feel like I'm dying. I wish the best for you 🙏🏼
@@daviddavid1057 I hope you get well soon. We are struggling 😔
@@Veronica-tn2xc Thank you🙏🏻 but what are your ferritin levels now?
Thanks 🙏 sir
Welcome, glad it was helpful!
My strategy is to take a low dose isotretinoin cycle, and maintain dutasteride use after the cycle is completed. The dutasteride prevents hair loss and it will prevent sebum production from rising again. Oral dutasteride has also been studied long term, over years, and is fairly safe.
Good point.
But orange juice also has calcium.
There is good evidence that orange juice helps iron absorption. The calcium concentration is probably quite low.
Taking iron on an empty stomach is HORRIBLE! Causes extreme nausea and stomach upset.
Thats right, iron can irritate the gastric mucosa. Lowering the dosage sometimes helps.
Its useful is hidranitites suppertiva
Yes, diet changes are helpful in hidradenitis too.
Thank god
Glad it was helpful
Thanks too much dr. In all your lectures interesting ❤❤❤😂

Hello , doctoru,i am 23 years old and o experiencing norwood 2-2,5 hairloss stage.I started fenasteride,and i take vitamins for hair .Is oral minoxidil safe for health?
It is useful to start minoxidil with other medications and is safe too.
@DiscoverDermatology thank You very much,is ok of i take 2,5 mg and after 1 month i take 5 mg?
@@razvanik As explained in the video the usual practice is to increase from 2.5mg to 3.75mg (one and a half tablets) and then after three months, increase to 5mg a day.

Sir I feel like I have iron deficiency... I have extreme hail fall dry skin, always sensitive to cold, sleepless ness, so can I take iron supplements without a prescription
Yes, iron can be taken without a prescription. It would be helpful to get some blood tests done to see if you have anemia. Vitamin D deficiency also causes similar symptoms. Here are a couple of videos on it ua-cam.com/users/shortsOG8GybUsZhU ua-cam.com/video/I0Qg7IjpFFQ/v-deo.html

Can u pls advise a good iron supplement for a 41 year old lady?
I do not know of any specific iron supplement. We use ferrous sulphate or ferrous fumarate in the UK.
Same here in the usa
Sir can you suggest good tinted sunscreen brands in India
I do not know of any specific tinted sunscreen in India. Think Brinton Parma make one called UV Doux Blue. I have not tried it myself but have been been made aware of it.
@ thank you doctor 😌
Recommend dosage per day?
The dosages of the individual fish oils are mentioned in the video.
Hi How should I feed to get rid of prurigo pigmentosa
Using any of the suggestions mentioned in the video may be helpful.
I wan to undergo a 3-6 month cycle of topical minoxidil until I reach a hair density I am happy with, then take oral minoxidil to conserve the hair density. Do you think 0.5mg is a good dose for density preservation? I want low risk of cardiovascular adverse events, and I will discontinue if hypertrichosis is a problem. Last year I did 4 month cycle and had good results but discontinued it, and after 6 months I am beginning to see some thinning again, but still retain most of the gains from last year.
The plan seems very pragmatic. Usually the dose and duration of minoxidil needs to be tinkered by the patient as each person will respond differently to the medication.
Doctor, what is your opinion on the AviClear laser to treat acne? Have you heard positive outcomes with it or is it a gimmick?
In the Uk we do not routinely use lasers for acne. Acne is an inflammatory condition and therefore the use of medications may be the best option. For scars, lasers may be helpful.
@@DiscoverDermatology thank you for your professional opinion 💙
Can we iron tablet with vitamin C tablet
Yes, many companies make tablets that have a combination of vitamin C and iron.
Sir I have a small doubt I'm already taking 5mg oral minoxidil along with 1mg finasteride according to my doctor's recommendation Can I use a multivitamin tablet along with them for overall wellness and better hair? Will that help in anyway?
Vitamins are helpful for hair conditions, particularly vitamin D. Iron is also beneficial for hair thinning if we are anaemic. here are a couple of videos on them. ua-cam.com/users/shortsMH7K6ELClkw ua-cam.com/users/shortsOG8GybUsZhU ua-cam.com/video/I0Qg7IjpFFQ/v-deo.html
@DiscoverDermatology thankyou sir
What??
2:00. Results.
Thats right, the results are explained form 2:00. Hope it was helpful information.
Sir, can I have your number or consultation
I work in the UK and my medical indemnity only covers me here. If you live or work here then you can make an appointment to see me. I can provide the hospital details if required.
How about tea not coffee?
Tea may also inhibit absorption of iron, so better avoided if possible.
