Dear Savreen ji,

Chickenpox ke daag (scars) chehre par reh jaate hain jab skin infection ke baad theek hoti hai. In marks ko kam karne ke liye regular skincare aur medical treatments dono hi available hain.

Chickenpox Scars Hatane ke Upay

  • Topical creams: Retinoids ya gentle exfoliating creams skin renewal mein madad karte hain (doctor ki salah zaruri hai).

  • Chemical peels: Dead skin remove karke nayi smooth skin ko promote karte hain.

  • Microneedling: Collagen production badhata hai, jisse scars gradually fade hote hain.

  • Laser treatment: Deep scars ke liye effective hota hai, lekin multiple sessions lagte hain.

  • Dermabrasion: Skin surface ko smooth banata hai; trained specialist se karwana chahiye.

Precautions

  • Scars ko kabhi bhi scratch ya rub na karein.

  • Sunscreen daily lagayein taaki daag aur dark na ho.

  • Home remedies jaise aloe vera ya multani mitti se temporary relief mil sakta hai, par results slow hote hain.

Dear Lala Ram ji,

Headache that lasts for two to three days continuously can be due to multiple reasons like tension, lack of sleep, eye strain, dehydration, sinus issues, or even high blood pressure. It’s important to observe any other symptoms that may be associated.

  • Migraine (pulsating pain, sometimes with nausea or light sensitivity)

  • Sinus congestion (pain around forehead, nose, eyes)

  • Eye strain (due to screen use or vision issues)

  • High BP-related headache (usually at the back of the head)

When to See a Doctor Immediately:

  • Severe headache with vomiting or vision changes

Tips for Relief at Home:

  • Drink enough water

If your headache persists beyond 3 days or worsens, consult a doctor.

Hello Arshu ji,

Thank you for your question! Pehle yeh clear karna zaroori hai ki aapka goal overall weight loss hai ya fat loss in specific areas (jaise tummy, chest, waist). Dono goals ke approach thode alag hote hain, isiliye neeche dono options ke baare mein bataya gaya hai:

1. If Your Goal is Weight Loss

Current BMI (approx):

  • Height: 5'11" (180 cm)

  • Weight: 90 kg
    ➡️ BMI: ~27.8 – this comes under overweight (not obese), so a moderate reduction of 7–10 kg can bring you to the healthy range.

What Will Help:

  • Continue with Intermittent Fasting (14:10)

  • Regular gym workout with strength + cardio

  • Follow a high-protein, calorie-controlled diet (don’t go extreme low-fat)

  • Focus on meal timing, hydration, and sleep

Note: We’re not sharing a full diet plan here because it needs to be personalised based on your energy levels, protein needs, and gym intensity.

Allurion Gastric Balloon (Non-Surgical Weight Loss Option)

If you find it hard to lose weight with diet and workout alone, the Allurion balloon is a safe, swallowable gastric balloon that:

  • Helps reduce appetite

  • Aids weight loss of up to 10–15 kg in 4 months

  • No surgery or endoscopy required

  • Suitable if BMI is above 27, which applies in your case

HexaHealth can connect you with certified providers for the Allurion balloon in your city.

2. If Your Goal is Fat Loss in Specific Areas

If you're looking to reduce fat from belly, chest, love handles, etc., and not just overall weight, then targeted solutions may work better:

  • Liposuction: Fat removal from areas like abdomen, thighs, arms

  • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): If loose skin is present after weight loss

  • These are ideal if you’re close to your ideal weight but struggling with stubborn fat

How HexaHealth Can Help

  • Book consultation with top weight-loss or cosmetic surgeons

  • Suggest personalised plan based on your goals

  • Assist with Allurion balloon, liposuction, or tummy tuck options

  • Offer EMI plans and hospital booking support

Let me know your preference (weight loss vs. fat loss), and I can guide you further. You're on the right path — just choose the right solution for your body and goal 💯.

Hello ji,

Foot cracks and dry skin, especially if it's your first time, can usually be managed well at home—but only after identifying the possible cause. Here’s what you should know:

Possible Causes of Dry, Cracked Heels

  • Walking barefoot or wearing open footwear often

  • Cold or dry weather

  • Long-standing (standing for long hours)

  • Not moisturizing feet regularly

  • Medical issues like diabetes, eczema, or fungal infection

Regarding Betamethasone Dipropionate

  • It is a strong steroid ointment, usually used for inflammatory skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis.

  • It’s not recommended for regular cracked skin unless prescribed by a doctor.

  • Overuse may thin your skin or worsen fungal infections if present.

➡️ Please consult a dermatologist before applying steroid ointments, especially if unsure of the cause.

Tips to Treat and Prevent Dry, Cracked Heels

  1. Soak Feet Daily in lukewarm water for 10–15 minutes

  2. Use a pumice stone gently to remove dead skin

  3. Apply a thick moisturizer or heel balm (look for urea or lactic acid-based creams)

  4. Wear cotton socks at night to lock in moisture

  5. Avoid harsh soaps that dry out the skin

  6. Stay hydrated and eat vitamin-rich foods (especially Vitamin E)

If the cracks are deep, painful, or show signs of infection (redness, pus, swelling), you should consult a skin specialist.
Wishing you healthy, happy feet soon!

Hello Sunny Sharma ji,

Aapke lakshan – chest mein pain, khansi, aur gas – ek saath ho rahe hain, to inke beech connection ho sakta hai. Yahaan aapke liye ek clear aur safe samajh di gayi hai:

Sambhavit Kaaran (Possible Reasons):

  1. Acid reflux (GERD) – jab pet ka acid upar chadh jaata hai to:

    • Chest mein jalan ya pain

    • Khansi (specially raat mein)

    • Gas, dakar, ya pet mein fulav

  2. Gastritis ya indigestion – khane ke baad heaviness, gas aur chest discomfort hota hai

  3. Lung infection ya allergy – agar khansi ke saath balgam ho, to lungs related problem bhi ho sakti hai

  4. Muscular pain – kabhi kabhi chest pain pet se nahi, balki muscle strain se bhi hota hai

Kya Karna Chahiye:

  • Spicy aur oily food avoid karein

  • Heavy khana raat ko na khayein, aur sone se pehle 2–3 ghante ka gap rakhein

  • Lukewarm paani ya saunf-ki-chai le sakte hain

  • Smoking, alcohol, aur soda waale drinks se bachna chahiye

  • Agar khansi 1 week se zyada ho rahi ho ya chest pain bar bar ho, to doctor se consult zaroor karein

We wish you a speedy recovery and good health!

Hello Vinod ji,

  • Liver function issue – bhukh aur energy dono low ho jaate hain

  • Thyroid imbalance, diabetes ya malabsorption bhi reason ho sakta hai

  • Stress ya anxiety ka bhi seedha asar digestion aur appetite par padta hai

Aapke Liye Best Suggestions:

  • Chhoti meals lein – din mein 4–5 baar halka aur healthy khana khayein

  • Probiotic food jaise dahi, chaach, aur banana rozana lein

  • Ajwain + kala namak ko bhunein aur khana ke baad thoda lein

  • Exercise ya 30-minute walk se digestion sudhar sakta hai

Dear Sarbjeet ji,

Subah uthte waqt sharir mein lagataar dard rehna aur stiffness mehsoos hona aksar kisi underlying health condition ka sanket ho sakta hai. Yeh samasya joint, muscle ya nervous system se judi ho sakti hai, aur kabhi-kabhi vitamin deficiencies ya lifestyle habits bhi iska kaaran ban sakte hain.

Sharir Mein Dard Aur Subah Ki Stiffness Ke Sambhavit Karan

  • Vitamin D ya B12 ki kami, jo muscles aur nerves ko prabhavit karti hai

  • Arthritis (specially rheumatoid arthritis), jisme subah mein joint stiffness hoti hai

  • Fibromyalgia, jisme poore sharir mein dard aur thakan mehsoos hoti hai

  • Spine ya back-related problem, jaise spondylitis ya disc issue

  • Poor sleeping posture ya mattress ka theek na hona

Aap Kya Kar Sakte Hain

  • Raat ko sone se pehle halka stretch ya walk karna madadgar ho sakta hai

  • Din bhar mein paani kaafi matra mein piyen, dehydration se bhi muscles tight ho jaate hain

  • Calcium, vitamin D aur B12 ka level test karwana useful hoga

  • Agar dard lagataar bana rahe to specialist (orthopedic ya rheumatologist) se consult zaroor karein

Lambe samay tak body pain rehna ignore nahi karna chahiye — sahi samay par diagnosis se aapko bahut rahat mil sakti hai.

Hello Pankaj ji,

Bahut afsos hai yeh sun kar ki aapke patient ko itni takleef ho rahi hai. Diabetes ke patients mein nerve blockage aur foot/lower limb complications aam baat hai — aur agar nerve damage aur blood flow blockage severe ho jaye, to pain, swelling, aur chalne mein dikkat hoti hai. Isse unki daily life aur family par bhi asar padta hai.

Mumkin Karan (Causes):

  • Diabetic neuropathy – nerves damage ho jana

  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD) – blood vessels mein blockage

  • Infection or diabetic foot ulcer

  • Stroke or clot (agar laft lag chuki hai)

Kya Karna Chahiye – Turant Steps:

  1. Vascular surgeon ya neurologist se milna bahut zaroori hai.

  2. Doppler scan / nerve conduction test jaise tests ho sakte hain.

  3. Diabetes ko control mein lana – ye har treatment ka pehla kadam hai.

  4. Agar nerves ya arteries mein blockage confirm hoti hai, to angioplasty, bypass ya surgery ka option hota hai.

  5. Physiotherapy bhi parallel mein start karni chahiye taaki movement improve ho sake.

Financial Help – Ayushman Bharat Card:

Agar aapke patient ke paas Ayushman Bharat card hai, to:

  • Peripheral vascular disease, diabetic foot treatment, angioplasty jaise surgeries isme covered hain.

  • Ghaziabad ya Delhi NCR ke Ayushman-empanelled hospitals mein free treatment ho sakta hai.

💡 HexaHealth Aapki Madad Kar Sakta Hai:

  • Specialist se turant consultation book karne mein

  • Reports evaluate karake second opinion dilwane mein

  • EMI options se treatment plan tay karne mein

Hello Sangana ji,

Thank you for sharing your health concerns. Living with issues like hyperacidity, poor digestion, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), constipation, and sleep problems for 16 years can be very uncomfortable and exhausting — but there are ways to manage and improve your condition with the right care.

Possible Reasons for Your Symptoms

Your symptoms may be linked to:

  • Chronic acid reflux or GERD

  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) affects gut movement

  • Poor eating habits or prolonged stress/anxiety

  • Side effects from long-term medication

  • Sleep disturbances caused by gut discomfort or vice versa

What You Can Do

  1. Get a detailed evaluation by a gastroenterologist to assess:

    • Stomach acid levels

    • Colon and gut motility

    • Food intolerances (like lactose or gluten)

    • Any nutritional deficiencies

  2. Endoscopy, stool tests, or abdominal ultrasound might be advised if not done already.

  3. Lifestyle and Dietary Changes:

    • Eat smaller, frequent meals

    • Avoid spicy, oily, caffeine-rich, and processed foods

    • Include fibre-rich foods like oats, banana, curd, and vegetables

    • Drink warm water and avoid lying down immediately after meals

    • Fix a regular sleep schedule and manage stress through yoga or meditation

  4. Medication: Take only as advised by a doctor — for acidity, gut spasms, sleep regulation, or probiotics.

How HexaHealth Can Help?

  • Connect you to a trusted gastroenterologist in your city

  • Arrange affordable tests or second opinions

  • Guide you on diet changes, home remedies, and treatment plans

Wishing you good health!
