Skin reactions can be triggered by skincare products, detergents, medicines, environmental factors, or contact with certain materials. Finding the exact cause isn't always straightforward, so a dermatologist may recommend a closer evaluation.
Yes, a dermatologist is the right specialist to help with hair fall. It can happen for a lot of reasons including genetics, stress, hormonal changes, scalp conditions and nutritional deficiencies. Dermatologists are uniquely trained to identify whether hair fall is temporary or something more serious.
No. Psoriasis is not contagious. It's a long-term inflammatory skin condition that can cause red, scaly, or irritated patches. While it may come and go, appropriate treatment can help manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups.
A mole that changes colour, shape, or size, starts bleeding, or looks noticeably different from your other moles should be examined. Most moles are harmless, but unusual changes are worth checking.
