00:00 And we're back with the Pinoy MD, Kapuso.

00:02 We're still here with Dr. Jean, our dermatologist,

00:05 to answer our FB questions for today.

00:08 Here it is, Doctor.

00:09 The next question.

00:11 What is the best medicine for dandruff?

00:13 From Joanne Marino.

00:15 Alright, dandruff can be caused by yeast.

00:19 And there are anti-dandruff shampoos

00:21 that have anti-yeast properties.

00:24 Those are the climbazoles, zinc pyrithio,

00:28 and many more, like ketoconazole.

00:31 The best thing is for you to try it out first.

00:35 And my advice is to really do it only twice a week.

00:39 What happens is that,

00:41 anti-dandruff shampoos are used every day.

00:44 That's why the scalp gets drier

00:47 and the back gets more flaky.

00:50 So just use it twice a week.

00:52 You can try some over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoos.

00:55 And if the scalp gets dry,

00:57 it can cause redness and itchiness.

01:00 That might be seborrheic dermatitis.

01:03 My advice is for you to go to a dermatologist already

01:07 because the medicine is different.

01:09 And last but not the least,

01:11 of course, this is the question.

01:12 What should be the solution to psoriasis?

01:16 This is the question from Mary Joy Nanola.

01:19 Alright, psoriasis is actually an autoimmune condition

01:22 where our immune system or the immune system of a patient

01:27 attacks the cells of their skin.

01:31 That's why there's redness and itchiness in the skin.

01:38 In other words, the skin changes slowly.

01:41 The dead skin accumulates.

01:43 That's why you can see that the scales of a patient with psoriasis are very thick.

01:48 Although it's not that itchy,

01:51 but it can be really, really uncomfortable

01:54 because it's in the areas where it's usually in,

01:57 in the flexor areas.

01:59 If you move the joints,

02:02 the skin there is a bit thicker and it hurts.

02:05 You can also have some symptoms in the nails.

02:08 And of course, in the lower back,

02:11 it's also often in the knees and in the scalp.

02:14 So it can be bothersome to the patient.

02:16 And of course, it lowers their self-confidence.

02:20 So how do we treat this?

02:22 Well, with any other medical condition,

02:24 we should look for triggers.

02:27 So psoriasis is usually related to obesity,

02:31 to insulin resistance,

02:34 diabetes,

02:35 and hypertension.

02:38 That's why when patients have psoriasis,

02:41 when they lose weight,

02:42 their weight becomes normal,

02:44 their blood sugar becomes normal,

02:46 and their skin improves.

02:48 So let's also look for and treat those medical conditions.

02:52 And of course, there are creams,

02:55 steroid creams,

02:57 vitamin A creams that can be applied,

03:01 lots and lots of moisturizers,

03:04 and nowadays, there are also biologics or injectables.

03:09 And of course, the right diet,

03:11 sunbathing,

03:12 supplementation is very important also,

03:15 and there's phototherapy.

03:17 So my advice to you,

03:19 with the many available treatments,

03:22 you should really look for a dermatologist first.

03:26 Thank you so very much, Dr. Jean,

03:28 for answering our questions.

03:30 Of course, keep them coming,

03:32 your questions,

03:34 to our Facebook page,

03:35 and maybe, who knows,

03:37 next time,

03:38 your questions will be answered next week.
