00:00 Happy healthy Saturday morning once again to all of you.
00:03 Welcome back to the home of the doctors of the country, the Pinoy MD.
00:06 So now, let's start our morning with some tips for health.
00:11 Of course, from our resident dermatologist, Dr. Jean.
00:15 Good morning, Dr. Jean.
00:17 Good morning, Connie. Of course, good morning, Kapuso.
00:20 Here's the first question.
00:22 What is the best thing to eat on a rainy day?
00:25 The question is from Fatima Dumig P. Rodriguez.
00:29 Fatima, thank you for the question.
00:31 You know, Fatima, the whole day, actually, these are trap sweats under the skin.
00:35 And this can cause, actually, irritation, redness, and of course, it's very itchy.
00:40 First of all, Fatima, since it's hot, the feeling of having a whole day,
00:46 you should only wear loose clothing, like cotton.
00:50 It shouldn't be tight. The skin should be able to breathe.
00:53 Second, you should take cold showers.
00:56 Avoid hot showers.
00:59 And of course, avoid putting on moisturizers
01:01 because the moisturizers will trap the sweat, especially on your skin.
01:06 And of course, to reduce redness and itchiness,
01:10 there are things you can apply.
01:12 First of all, you can apply cortisone cream.
01:15 Your dermatologist will do a reset on that.
01:17 And of course, for itchiness, we give anti-histamine.
01:22 Or it's for controlling itchiness.
01:24 And of course, it also helps to prevent itching.
01:28 And of course, if you have an infection all day,
01:31 we can give antibiotics.
01:33 Time for our next FB question, Kapuso.
01:36 Here it is, Dr. Jean.
01:38 The question is,
01:39 "What is the medicine for the redness and itchiness of the hands of her child?"
01:43 And there's also this,
01:45 there's also this reverse balacubac that has hay fever all day.
01:51 The question is from Diane Juvenet Echano Cruz.
01:55 First of all, the redness of the hands and itchiness,
01:58 balacubac, and of course, hay fever,
02:02 those can be different feelings.
02:04 It's not seen as a disease.
02:07 For example, let's say balacubac,
02:09 it's called seborrheic dermatitis,
02:12 or just plain dandruff.
02:15 Second, the redness and itchiness of the hands
02:19 can also be allergic contact dermatitis,
02:22 which is also an allergy.
02:24 And the other one is what you're saying, hay fever,
02:27 that's actually also a form of allergy.
02:30 You're allergic to dust, molds,
02:33 or for example, to grass, or to pets.
02:37 So it can be a separate disease.
02:39 But it can actually also be one kind of disease.
02:43 Now, this can also be seen in people who have asthma of the skin.
02:48 You should check with your child
02:50 so that you can really get the right diagnosis.
02:55 Meanwhile, let's go to Facebook question number 3, Dr. Jean.
03:00 What is the medicine for the itchiness from shingles and chicken pox?
03:04 The question is from Nanette D. Taguiam.
03:07 The itchiness from shingles or chicken pox
03:10 starts with the redness.
03:12 And then, it can get black,
03:15 and then of course, it usually leaves a bruise.
03:18 Because the itchiness, especially from chicken pox, is deep.
03:22 So it affects the so-called lower dermis,
03:25 where it is what stimulates the collagen.
03:27 It affects that.
03:28 And there are so-called atrophic scars,
03:31 or scars that are deep.
03:33 First of all, since loss of collagen,
03:36 or the damage to the collagen is the problem,
03:38 that collagen should be stimulated
03:40 by actually putting creams that can stimulate collagen.
03:44 For example, you can say tretinoin or glycolic.
03:48 But of course, you cannot put that while the wound is still bleeding.
03:52 Because if not, it will be more irritating.
03:54 And also, of course, we also have things that we do in the clinic.
03:58 For example, what is called needling to stimulate the collagen.
04:01 And of course, also fractional lasers.
04:04 So the best is to go to a dermatologist
04:06 because it's still a case-to-case basis.
04:08 It depends on the look of the scars that are left.
04:12 Thank you, doctor! We will still be back here at Pinoy MD.
