Mitesh Question by Mitesh on May 24, 2021Hindi

Hello Dr Jain.
This is Mitesh Shah, age 45.
Whenever any metal comes in contact with my skin, I tend to get rashes.
For example, if I wear a watch with a metal strap or a bracelet of any metal, I get rashes on my wrist. It gets very, very itchy and, in no time, I get some small boils which oozes out some transparent liquid due to abrasions.
Similarly, with a chain, I get rashes and itchiness all around my neck.
This has been happening since the last 20 years.
Can you help?
Thanks and regards,
Mitesh Shah

Ans:

Hi Mitesh.

It looks like you are allergic to metals and I strongly recommend a metal allergy test.

Avoid wearing watches with metal straps and bases.

Most people are not allergic to pure silver and gold ornaments. Once your report detects which metal/s is/are causing your allergy, you can then get ornaments accordingly.

Home remedies include:

  • Don't use strong soap on the affected area.
  • Use soothing lotions, such as calamine lotion, which will help ease the itching.
  • Moisturise regularly. Your skin has a natural barrier that's disrupted when it reacts to nickel and other metals causing allergy.
  • Apply cold, wet compresses that can help dry blisters and relieve itching.

Dear Naveenn Ji I am 61 yrs old-retired person. I had cardiac procedure with pacemaker 3 yrs back. I had one Medical insurance which was quite useful and was just sufficient at that time to meet expenses. Now I want to enhance the limit say from 10 lac to 20 lac which is not happening with the existing one. Can you suggest what best can be done and how for medical expenses
Ans: We will need to check with different health insurance companies and share your case history in detail. There are chances of getting a policy, but it depends on the underwriter’s assessment. Age, any other medical conditions, pre-existing diseases and the severity of the earlier cardiac issue all play a role.

Sometimes insurers give a counter-offer with a higher premium, a co-payment clause or a permanent exclusion for heart-related conditions while covering everything else.
We also need to check whether porting is possible or if a fresh policy is better.

One important point: please do not cancel your existing policy under any circumstance until a new cover is issued and active.

Alongside insurance, it is always wise to keep a reasonable emergency fund in liquid form such as fixed deposits or liquid mutual funds to handle any immediate medical requirement.

please feel free to ask any further questions you can connect us 044-31683550 if facing any problem

Sir I have 5 subject in Nios board class 12 in 2026 and the subject names is Physics, Maths, English, Physical Education and in place of Chemistry is Biotechnology or vocational subject Valid for JOSSA 2026 So it will be eligible for Jossa Counselling For BTech in IITs or NITs+System According to JOSSA COUNSELLING 2025 Annexure 2(a)Annexure 2(b) The marks scored in the following five subjects will be considered for calculating the aggregate marks and the cut-off marks for fulfilling the top 20 percentile criterion. Candidates must also pass each of the following subjects in Class XII (or equivalent) to qualify for admission to the NIT+ System: o For B.E./B.Tech. programmes i. Physics ii. Any one of Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Technical Vocation subject iii. Mathematics iv. A language (if the candidate has taken more than one language, then the language with the higher marks will be considered) v. Any subject other than the above four (the subject with the highest marks will be considered). Please Guide Me Sir
Ans: Your question is unclear because you have combined many queries into one. However, I will attempt to answer based on my understanding. Please do not mind; from the question, I can guess that you may be facing problems with the subjects, either in terms of understanding or from other aspects.

Your NIOS 2026 combination (Physics, Maths, English, Physical Education, and Biotechnology instead of Chemistry) complies with JoSAA Annexure 2(a)/(b) requirements, so you will be eligible for JoSAA counselling for BTech in IITs/NIT+ system, subject to passing all subjects and meeting the JEE Advanced and overall eligibility/percentile criteria. However, it is highly recommended to refer to the latest brochure published by NTA on the official website of JEE.

Good luck.
