Dear doctors, I am a research scholar and working on signal transduction studies and regularly use several irritants and ion channel blockers. I am suffering from excess keratosis on palms and soles and some times deep painful fissures from almost two years. It was started as a small thickening patch an left arm and recovered after treatment with moisturizing creams. After that I went to Japan as part of my research programme and one nurse given me creams with anti-fungal compounds and urea but the problem was enhanced and started the deep fisures on my soles. I came back to India and used homeopathy medicine for one weak and after that i visited a doctor. He suggested me to apply lemon juice trice daily and use vitamin C along with high doses of antifungal tablets and creams. I used this medicine for 6 months which further worsen my situation and my skin became very thick and appeared like toe nails and spread-ed to all areas of palms and soles. I changed the doctor and he given me the isotretinol for 2 months and given vitamin A and D combination for 4 months which improved my condition alot. Now I am taking a dosage of 6000 IU Vit A and 1000 IU Vit D once for every 3days. Whether I will completely relieve from my problem with these medicines or is there any permanent recovery in ayurvedic?

Sir, I had protected sex with a women / sex worker around 37 days back. She was having periods at that time, which I was not aware about. While removing the condom, a drop of blood came on my finger (My condom was not torn or damaged). After around 20 days, I developed a small genital wart on my pence. I immediately went to a dermatologist / STD specialist and told him the entire episode correctly. He told me that it was an HPV virus and the immune system of the body will eventually clear it with passage of time. For the wart I was advised to apply a topical cram "Imiquimod" every alternate day. I was also asked to get a VDRL test. My VDRL test came "Non Reactive" after 21 days of the exposure. However as I was extremely worried about the entire edisode, I decided to get the HIV test done today i.e. after 37 days of exposure. So I got an HIV 1/2 & P24 Combo Test done from . My report has come out to be "Index Value = 0.12" "Result= Non Reactive". My question is, in your opinion how reliable is this report?

Yes that's right - the antibodies can take up to 3 months, sometimes longer, to appear but the p24 antigen assay becomes positive much sooner after exposure. Still no test is fool proof and you should get retested in 8 weeks time - just the HIV 1/2 antibodies will be enough. This is just a precaution to be doubly sure - as it stands you are HIV negative based on your test results. And yes that is a standard laboratory. Regards. ...

diltiact gel can used in angina/ hypertension through skin ? and on which part it apply?

It's rather to take tablets or capsules of Diltiazem in angina or hypertension and of course in doses as has prescribed your ...

Hi Prashant, Ecopsrin-75 is a salicylic acid salt but not the kind which helps with acne. Do not apply it on the skin. There are various 2% Salicylic acid face washes available in the market and you would be much better off trying one of those for your acne. Please note that the information I have provided is for general purposes only and does not establish a patient-doctor relationships. No prescription cream or tablet should be taken without consulting a doctor in person. ...

After drinking ice cold water I begin to experience short of breath. About a month ago in October, I had coronary bypass artery surgery. What is this happening?

Hard to unswer exactly, because it can have several reasons. As usually cold weather causes vasospasm of heart vessels and some anginal symptoms, including shortness of breath, theoritically we can consider the same thing here. In addition cold water can cause some types of cardiac arrhythmias in patients who have underlying heart diseases, and this arrhythmia can be felt like shortness of breath. Cold water can also cause bronchoconstriction and hense-shortness of breath. I would advice you to ...

I have bad body acne. Could you please advice what medicine i can use as i cannot apply anything at back of my body if possible suggest medicine to eat

Hello, I would suggest using a 2.5 or 5% Benzoyl Peroxide soap or body wash while bathing on a daily basis to prevent new pimples. This should be lathered onto the body, left on for 5-10 minutes and then washed off. If despite this new pimples keep coming ask your doctor for a 3-6 week course of Capsule Doxycycline 100 mg. Avoid any sort of body oil and wear 100% cotton clothes as much as possible. If you sweat a lot then take two showers a day. Cut down on oily food, dairy products and junk fo ...
