00:00 Good morning, Doctor!
00:02 Good morning, Connie, and of course, good morning, Kapuso!
00:05 Here's the first question for you, Doctor.
00:07 What tablet can be taken if you have an "an-an"?
00:12 This is the question of Rachel Bonifacio-Guieb.
00:15 Rachel, if you have an "an-an", it really starts with the tablets.
00:20 Those tablets are the ones containing the so-called antifungal creams,
00:25 or those containing miconazole, ketoconazole, and the so-called "zoles".
00:32 And also, it provides anti-dandruff shampoos.
00:36 Actually, it's not just a shampoo, it's also a paste for your body.
00:40 Now, if you're not really a "blanon",
00:43 we're already giving you the so-called antifungal tablets.
00:48 Those are in the form of etchoconazole, fluconazole,
00:53 those are the ones we can give.
00:55 And of course, you should really consult your dermatologist first
00:59 because later on, your fungus might have already healed.
01:02 But it left a white spot.
01:05 Because usually, it's thought that it's not because the white spot is still there,
01:12 that it still has a fungal infection.
01:14 Because it will really leave a white spot on your skin.
01:18 And for our next FB question,
01:20 what are the medicines that can be taken for the so-called "butlig-butlig"
01:24 on the skin of a 1.5-month-old baby?
01:28 Alright, I saw the picture of your baby.
01:31 If we can see in the picture,
01:33 there are some wounds, obviously, it's itchy.
01:37 And of course, there are also dry skin and acne.
01:41 It means that this illness has been going on for a long time.
01:45 And if you can see, it's on the hand.
01:48 And of course, we don't know if it's still on the other part of the body.
01:54 Well, if we can see this,
01:56 it might come to our mind that this is scabies or what we call "galis-aso".
02:03 What you should do actually is to check if your family members also have itchiness.
02:10 If not, you should really take the medicine at the same time.
02:15 You should put aside the clothes you're wearing
02:18 and you should really put it in a plastic bag for about 3 days
02:23 to kill the scabies mites that are attached to it.
02:27 But of course, what's more important is to rule out other skin conditions.
02:33 Because there are many skin disorders that represent "butlig-butlig" and itchiness on the hands.
02:39 So what's important is you go to a dermatologist to really get diagnosed and of course, to get the right treatment.
02:47 Jin, what is the medicine for the uvula of a 15-year-old niece?
02:53 From Siti MacDiem.
02:56 Sith, the uvula in children is sometimes genetic or it's inherited.
03:03 Of course, there are also medical conditions that can give you white hairs even at a young age.
03:08 Those are called hypo- or hyperthyroidism or thyroid problems.
03:12 That's why you should know if she has thyroid problems.
03:15 And of course, there are also autoimmune conditions like vitiligo if she has white hairs or itchiness on the body.
03:23 And of course, it can also be alopecia.
03:25 In certain children, there are also alopecia or hair loss.
03:31 And of course, there are also nutritional deficiencies or vitamin and mineral deficiencies
03:36 that can cause white hairs and of course, minerals like copper.
03:42 So what I would recommend to her is to try supplementing first.
03:46 Drink multivitamins and multiminerals first.
03:49 And then if it still doesn't improve, you might need to see a doctor.
03:55 It's not dangerous, but just to rule out other medical conditions.
03:59 Thank you, doctor.
