00:00Meanwhile, our dermatologist, Dr. Jeanne, is here to answer some of the questions you sent to our FB page.
00:09Good morning, doctor!
00:11Good morning, Connie, and of course, good morning to all the viewers of Pinoy MD.
00:16This is our first question for you, Dr. Jeanne, from Ramed Aled Zurk.
00:22How can we get rid of varicose veins?
00:25Alright, Ramed!
00:27A lot of people are getting rid of varicose veins.
00:30For some reason, people are so idle.
00:33They're always sitting, not moving.
00:35We really need to move so that the circulation from the legs
00:40goes to the heart, to the blood, and the legs go back.
00:43So, the gold standard of treatment for varicose veins is called sclerotherapy.
00:50Because it's still the cheapest, but it's the most effective.
00:54So, what we do is we inject what's called a sclerosing solution
00:59so that the walls of the veins inside will swell.
01:03And when it swells, those walls will stick together and close.
01:08Ramed, but sometimes, you need to do a duplex scan
01:13to see if there are thrombus or blood clots.
01:19That is a contraindication for sclerotherapy.
01:22So, you need to go to a skilled sclerotherapist,
01:26whether it's a dermatologist or a vascular surgeon,
01:29so that your varicose veins can be properly examined.
01:35Question number 2, Dr. Jean, for you.
01:37The question is from Zoe Gonzalez Cruz.
01:40She's stressed because of a problem with her daughter's head.
01:44She has a lump in her head.
01:46And she has a baby.
01:48So, what's the cure for that?
01:50What we really need to know is what's the cure for that.
01:56There are many things that can be cured.
01:59Sometimes, this is called seborrheic dermatitis.
02:03It can be seborrheic dermatitis, then it gets worse,
02:06and there's a secondary infection.
02:08It can also be what's called folliculitis,
02:11an infection of the hair follicles.
02:13And often, that area gets inflamed.
02:17It can also be a fungal infection.
02:20It should be tested.
02:22It's called skin scraping.
02:24Then, they look at the microscope to see if there are fungal elements.
02:28So, you really need to see a dermatologist
02:31because it depends on your condition.
02:35Do you need antibiotics?
02:36Do you need antifungal?
02:38Do you also need anti-dandruff?
02:40Shampoos?
02:41Or can you also give antihistamine or antibiotics?
02:45There are many things you can do.
02:46So, you go to a dermatologist to check it out and give you the right kit.
02:51Meanwhile, back to our Facebook question for you, Dr. Jean.
02:54JP is asking,
02:55what will he do with his continuously growing pimples?
03:00He used ointment, soap, and toner,
03:04but it doesn't really go away.
03:06Alright, JP.
03:07Ointment, soap, and toner.
03:09The question is,
03:10is that the right ointment, soap, and toner
03:13for your type of skin
03:15and for your type of acne?
03:18I can see that your acne is hard.
03:21It looks like there are a lot of plugs inside.
03:24Maybe you need to go to a doctor to get an acne facial.
03:28You have to unplug those pores.
03:31Remove the ones that are blocked
03:33so that the right ointment can enter.
03:36I say, the right ointment that should be coming from a dermatologist.
03:41I can see that your skin is a bit rough and dry.
03:45Maybe it's too dry on your skin.
03:50So, we can also give oral medication.
03:54Those oral medications can control the oil production
03:58or sometimes give antibiotics if it's really needed.
04:03And of course, you have to determine what triggers your acne.
04:09Are you still putting those oily hair products?
04:13Or are you using a cosmetic on your skin
04:17that is too oily and can plug your pores?
04:21Do you massage those oils that spread on your face?
04:26Sometimes, it's just that simple.
04:28That's all you need to do.
04:30Or are you eating foods that can trigger inflammation of the skin?
04:34Like dairy, too much cheese,
04:37too much milk tea, sugar, and processed foods.
04:42Maybe you need to stop eating those.
04:45And you can also give supplementation
04:48in the form of B vitamins, probiotics, and zinc
04:52that can actually help with acne.
04:56So, go to a dermatologist.
04:58There's a lot more you can do.
04:59And you don't need to lose hope
05:02because as far as I'm concerned,
05:04you're just starting your solution.
05:08For our next question for you, Dr. Jean,
05:10this is a question from Wari Kanizares.
05:12What should I do to prevent ingrown acne?
05:16To prevent ingrown acne,
05:18if it's really painful and you have to do it again and again,
05:22you need to remove it.
05:25It's called nail avulsion.
05:28If it still causes inflammation and infection,
05:32maybe we need to trim the nails
05:35or remove the nails totally.
05:38And of course,
05:39if you're cutting your nails,
05:43don't cut it too deep.
05:46Because if you cut it too deep,
05:48it can grow inside the skin.
05:53That's what will cause inflammation of the skin.
05:56And of course,
05:57you should also use moisturizers
06:01to soften the skin in that area.
06:04But take note,
06:05don't use oils and moisturizers
06:08if you have an active infection.
06:10And of course,
06:11maybe the shoes you're using are really painful,
06:15that's why your ingrown nails need to be cut again and again.
06:18Thank you, Dr. Jean,
06:19for answering our questions.
06:22But if you have more questions and you want to send them,
06:25send them to our Facebook page.
06:27All of you can think of your questions,
06:30and who knows,
06:31maybe next week,
06:32your questions will be answered by us.
06:55Thank you.
