},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hi, I think you can take clomid for ovulation. It doesn't prevent you from having a natural ovulation. But it increases the chance of pregnancy by ensuring that ovulation occurs. You can track your ovulation by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, you can take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question. Regards"

In all of these conditions the color giving cells are over active and are produce more color to the skin. The resulting situation is manifested as slightly increased pigmentation over the affected area. I generally give a latest treatment with kojic acid, licorice extract, niacinamide or if required the azelaic acid based creams and other latest ingredient in the treatment.

"value": "Hi, I think your doctor has put you on ovral g to resolve the cysts. So, don't worry about it. Regarding the polyp, it needs to be removed if it is intrauterine. If it is cervical polyp and not interfering with the internal os, it can be left as such. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. You can track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question. Regards"

"value": "Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthacremagicThe higher the SPF of a sunscreen, the oilier it gets.The whitish texture is due to the fact that this sunscreen contains Zinc Oxide which is a physical sunscreen ingredient and appears white because it is opaque, unlike chemical sunscreen ingredients which are transparent.You may try a sunscreen with a lower SPF 30. The protection provided by a sunscreen with SPF30 would be at par with the protection provided by a sunscreen with higher SPF (i.e SPF 50).Alternatively you may try a different cosmetically acceptable brand of sunscreen. You may find it either OTC Or you may also ask for a prescription from your dermatologist. Neutrogena dry touch ultrasheer sunscreen is an OTC product and is quite good both in terms of protection and cosmetic acceptability.Another option is a sunscreen by L'oreal, it is also OTC.Regards"

There are no chemicals in any medical field which can color the hair permanently. So do not get misguided by any advertisement for the same.You can use any color which is free from the PPD content.For your daughter’s height: As she is just 17 years of age at this time so her height would increase mainly up to 20 years and would continue till 25 years of age in minor form. So just give her good nutrition to have good strength of bones.All the best."

"value": "Hi,You are using elosone HT cream on face for fairness. I can not understand, who prescribed this to you? For your knowledge, it is a cream containing steroid and that might cause serious side effects on face skin after long term application...like erythema,telangiectasia,atrophy,depigmentation,hypertrichosis..etc. You stop it immediately. It might be responsible for redness. Keep the skin protected from sun rays.If your skin has blemishes, then only you may apply kojic acid containing gel. Along with that, you may take vitamin C,glutathion..etc. you might cleanse the skin with kojic acid,arbutin containing face wash. I hope you got my answer.Dr. Ilyas Patel MD"

"value": "Hello,I can understand for using the meladerm cream for your skin.This cream basically contains kojic acid and vitamin C as its main ingredient which are though quite safe but should always be used under dermatological supervision.There are various type of skin textures and accordingly we have to decide the product according to the sin type and skin pigmentation. So I always suggest my patients to use any of the cream under the supervision of a dermatologist only.I suggest you to use sunscreen in day time according to your skin type and plenty of fruits and good nourishing diet to make your skin glowing.So I suggest you to meet a dermatologist and get proper treatment for your exact concern for the skin.My all best wishes for your healthy and glowing skin."

{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hello,Thank you for posting on HCM.Generally, in my patients of sun tanning I would advise then to get series of microdermabrasion followed by chemical peeling. Microdermabrasion is a procedure that removes the superficial layers of skin and it is done with a help of machine. Then after a week or same day itself I would carry out another procedure called chemical peeling. Chemical peeling is again a similar procedure where superficial layers of skin is removed but here the effect is more profound and it stimulates new skin generation in much better way thus giving you more youthful and radiant skin.Several options are available in chemical peels like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, TCA but my personal favorite is retinol peel or also known as Yellow peel.The rationale of combining these procedure is to get better and long lasting effects.I am sure 6-8 sessions will bring out a pretty gratifying results.At home the results can be maintained with antioxidant tablets like Antoxid HC once daily in morning (It can be safely taken for months together) and night application of cream containing mixture of glycolic acid , arbutin and Kojic acid. In morning you can apply a good quality sunscreen with additional skin lightening ingredients (NILTAN SPF).Use a good quality facewash like Fash facewash gel.Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and indulge into regular exercise for healthy skin and body.Hope this was useful.Let me know if I can be of any more assistance.Thank you and take care,Dr Hardik PitrodaM.D Dermatology"

"value": "Hi, I think it is normal for the semen to come out of vagina after contact. This will not prevent pregnancy, because sperms can swim up into the uterus even if it is in contact with your vagina for few minutes. Lie down after contact for 10 to 15 minutes. Letsi tablets help in the growth of your follicles and induce ovulation. So, it increases the chance of pregnancy. You can track your ovulation by repeated ultrasound or ovulation detection kits. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. It will increase chances of your pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question."
