Skin & Hair FAQs

Losing about 50 to 100 strands a day is normal. If you see thinning at the parting, a wider scalp, bald patches, or shedding that lasts more than 2–3 months, see a dermatologist. Dr. Bharti Verma, trichologist in Vasundhara, Ghaziabad, finds the cause first, then plans treatment.

Common causes are stress, low iron, vitamin D or B12, thyroid problems, hormonal changes such as PCOS, genetics, recent illness and harsh hair treatments. A scalp check and basic blood tests usually point to the reason.

PRP uses a concentrate of your own blood platelets, injected into the scalp to support weak follicles. Most people need a course of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, then occasional top-ups. Results build slowly over months and differ from person to person.

Both use your own blood. GFC is a more purified concentrate of growth factors that is injected into the scalp to wake up thin, weak hair roots. Your dermatologist chooses between the two after checking hair type and loss pattern.

Dandruff is often a long-term condition that can be controlled rather than cured once. Medicated shampoos used on a regular schedule keep flakes away. If the scalp is red, very itchy or flaky patches keep returning, get it checked for seborrheic dermatitis.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes round, smooth bald patches. Hair often regrows, and treatment can speed this up, but the course varies. Early consultation gives better control.

Pimples form when oil and dead skin block pores and bacteria grow inside. Hormones, stress, heavy cosmetics, some foods and picking at the skin make it worse. Ongoing or painful acne needs medical treatment, not just face washes.

Marks fade faster with daily sunscreen, no picking and treatment that suits your skin type, such as topical creams, peels or light-based therapy. Most marks improve over several weeks to months.

It depends on the scar type. Options include microneedling, chemical peels, laser and scar-release procedures. A dermatologist examines the scar depth and skin tone before choosing, and often combines methods.

Do not squeeze them. Ingredients like salicylic acid and retinoids unclog pores over time, and a clinic can do safe extraction or peels. Squeezing at home often causes scars and infection.

No. Popping can push infection deeper, cause marks and leave permanent scars. If a pimple is large or painful, a dermatologist can treat it safely.

Most people see a clear improvement in about 6 to 8 weeks of regular treatment, and stubborn acne can take longer. Skipping medicines or changing products too often slows progress.

Sun exposure, hormones (melasma), old acne and skin irritation are common causes. Treatment combines strict sunscreen use, prescribed creams, peels or laser. A dermatologist first identifies the type, because each responds differently.

Dark circles can come from genetics, poor sleep, allergies, thin skin or pigmentation. The right fix depends on the cause, from creams and sun protection to peels or other in-clinic care. Results depend on cause, so an exam comes first.

Dry skin can come from weather, hot showers, harsh soaps or conditions like eczema. Use a thick moisturiser, bathe in lukewarm water and avoid strong cleansers. See a doctor if there is itching, cracks or red patches.

Unwanted facial hair often links to hormonal changes such as PCOS, though it can also run in families. A hormone check may help, and laser hair reduction can control the hair itself.

Yes, for most people. UV rays pass through clouds and windows and worsen pigmentation, tanning and early ageing. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily on exposed skin.

Laser gives long-term hair reduction, not always full permanence. Most people feel a quick snapping or warm sensation, which is bearable. Treatment is done by a dermatologist with settings matched to your skin and hair.

Most areas need several sessions spaced about 4 to 8 weeks apart, because hair grows in cycles. The number depends on body area, hair thickness and skin type, so the doctor gives a plan after a consultation.

When done by a dermatologist with correct settings, laser tattoo removal is generally safe and scarring is uncommon. Aftercare matters: keep the area clean, avoid picking and use sunscreen.

Tattoos usually need several sessions. Size, ink colour, depth and how old the tattoo is all affect the count. Dark, older tattoos often fade faster than bright colours.

Microneedling uses fine needles to trigger the skin’s own repair, improving texture, scars and fine lines. People with active skin infection, an acne flare, a tendency to keloid scars, recent isotretinoin use or pregnancy should check with the doctor first.
