How to maintain skin firmness post weight loss?

Hello doctor,

I have achieved significant weight loss, but now I am dealing with excess skin. Can you provide information on how collagen is related to skin elasticity and how it might be affected after weight loss? Additionally, are there specific strategies or treatments that can help improve skin firmness and reduce excess skin post-weight loss? I want to understand the role of collagen and explore options for addressing this concern.

How to prevent and manage hair loss in a 30-year-old?

Hello doctor,

I am 30 years old, and over the past few years, I have seen substantial hair loss, especially in a pattern that seems to correspond with what I have read regarding pattern hair loss. Will you kindly explain pattern hair loss in detail, including its causes, normal course, and treatments? To control or slow down this disease, I am curious about any lifestyle changes or preventive measures that I can take. Kindly suggest.

Thank you.

Can HSV-1 be transmitted?

Hello doctor,

I tested 49.40 positive for HSV 1. I am wondering if such a high result is indicative of a recent or past infection. If it is a recent infection, I can only think back to two instances where I might have gotten infected. One was last year. Are my results consistent with these dates? Additionally, given this positive result, how likely am I to transmit this to my partner if no cold sores are present? If this is an old infection I have never developed any cold sores, or symptoms, as far as I can remember. I also did not test positive for HSV-2. Lastly, is the use of antiviral medication recommended for my case?

Please help.
