00:00PINOY MD
00:04Meanwhile, here is our dermatologist, Dr. Jean,
00:07to answer some of the questions you sent to our FB page.
00:13Good morning, Doctor!
00:14Good morning, Connie, and of course, good morning to all the viewers of Pinoy MD.
00:21Doctor, here is the first question.
00:23Is it okay for him to use a conditioner every day?
00:26This question is from Loridel Solera Sadhe.
00:30Alright, Loridel, you know that a conditioner is actually designed to soften the hair strands, right?
00:38It's not really for cleaning, like a shampoo, it's not for cleaning the scalp.
00:43So, there's only one correct way to apply a conditioner.
00:46They say that after a shampoo, then you use a conditioner at the tips of your hair only.
00:53Just here at the tips, right?
00:55Because if you apply it directly on the scalp, it can clog the pores, the hair follicles on the scalp.
01:01You can get dandruff, right?
01:02So, just here.
01:04And yes, you can apply it every day,
01:07especially because this is only applied at the ends of our hair strands.
01:13Back to Dr. Jean.
01:15Doc, is it true that drinking contraceptive pills makes the skin beautiful?
01:21The question is from Kath.
01:23Kath, oral contraceptive pills are not designed to improve the skin, right?
01:29That's why oral contraceptive pills are said to be a contraception or to prevent a woman from getting pregnant
01:38or to control hormonal issues or imbalances.
01:42However, oral contraceptive pills have been proven also to improve acne in some patients, right?
01:50So, in some patients, those who don't experience the effects of topical acne medications,
01:58and if you've tried anything else, it is the last resort actually, right?
02:02So, with patients who have hormonal acne, they give oral contraceptive pills.
02:07Because when we have acne, the androgen hormones increases
02:12and it increases the sebum production or oil production,
02:15which can cause clogging of the pores and can cause acne.
02:18Now, the oral contraceptive pills have estrogen,
02:21which can actually lower the effects of the male hormone or the androgen.
02:26So, it decreases oil production.
02:28Oral contraceptive pills actually helps to control acne in some patients,
02:33but it is not the first line.
02:35It's actually a last resort for patients who have hormonal acne.
02:40Because you cannot actually use oral contraceptive pills for the skin long-term, it has side effects.
02:48That's why oral contraceptive pills are the best.
