Why sunscreen is necessary for daily use?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Sunscreens, as the name suggests, protect from ultraviolet rays by forming a barrier. The white skin has less melanin, so they are more prone to the harmful effects of these rays. Toxic effects include skin aging, tanning, dark spots, and diseases like seborrheic keratosis in old age.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. It is difficult to tell exactly without a photograph. It can be atopic but seborrheic, too. How much is the itching? What aggravated it?

Does the falling of scab indicate a failed hair transplant?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Hair transplant failure or success is evident within four weeks. The follicles that have been implanted into our scalp would die initially within two weeks, or they would lead to the growth of good hair. After that, you massage it or do anything, it will not have any effect on the hair transplant, because the hair follicle by that time would have established at that place as the original ones. So the effect of rubbing, friction, or any disease will be the same whether transplanted or not.

What is the treatment for severe keratosis pilaris?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. KPs (keratosis pilaris) are thorn-like skin projections on some parts of the body, which are genetically controlled. That means they will remain throughout life, but sometimes genes start behaving differently, so they may go away on their own, but rarely. I suggest you consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with their consent.
