Does plucking chin hair make it grow more?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Plucking chin hair is the most easiest and inexpensive way of hair removal but it may sometimes cause more regrowth, hair thickness and skin damage. Laser removal is the best and permanent solution but it also depends on your skin type. So it is suggestable to consult with a doctor and get treated accordingly.

Plucking chin hair does not make it grow back thicker or more numerous. Here's what you should know:
-
Hair Growth Basics:
Hair growth is determined by genetics and hormones, not by plucking. -
Plucking Effects:
a. When you pluck a hair, it is removed from the root, so it takes time to grow back.
b. The new hair may feel coarser initially because it has a blunt tip, but it is not actually thicker. -
Repeated Plucking:
Frequent plucking over time can sometimes damage hair follicles, potentially leading to less hair growth in that area. -
Hormonal Factors:
For adult women, chin hair can sometimes be influenced by hormonal changes. If you notice increased hair growth, it might be worth discussing with a healthcare provider. -
Safe Hair Removal:
If chin hair bothers you, options include plucking, waxing, threading, or laser hair removal. Each has pros and cons.
If you have concerns about hair growth or changes, consulting a dermatologist or endocrinologist can provide personalized advice and treatment options.

View allI've been a bit concerned since I woke up with some lesions near my lip after going on a trip last weekend where I played in the mud and a dirty river. They don't hurt or itch, and I don't have a fever or anything. Someone mentioned it could be Herpes Labialis, and I've been using Herpex cream which seems to have helped as the lesions are almost gone after 7 days. I'm just wondering if this really sounds like it was Herpes or if there's a chance it could be something else?
Yes that could be Herpes infection,and you have used the right cream,visit Dermatologist for further management

I'm really worried about the side effects of using keraboost. If I decide to stop taking it, will it make my hair fall out even more? I'm looking for some advice on what to expect.
Keraboost is a hair growth supplement that contains biotin, zinc, and other vitamins and minerals. Some common side effects of Keraboost may include gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea or diarrhea. In rare cases, allergic reactions like rash or itching may occur. If you stop consuming Keraboost, it is unlikely to directly cause an increase in hair fall. However, if Keraboost was helping to improve the health of your hair and you stop taking it, you may notice a decrease in hair quality over time. It's important to maintain a balanced diet and good hair care routine even if you stop taking the supplement.

I'm trying to find out if taking a zincovit tablet helps with reducing grey hair and hair fall. My routine is having some abc juice in the morning, then muesli, followed by lunch, and taking a zincovit tablet after that. In the evening, I make a spinach banana smoothie. I'm just wondering if this diet could help decrease hair fall or if it might cause more heat in my body. What do you think?
Zincovit tablets can help improve hair health and reduce hair fall, but they may not directly reduce grey hair. Your diet plan seems balanced and nutritious, which can contribute to overall hair health. However, zincovit tablets contain zinc, vitamins, and minerals that may not necessarily produce more heat in your body. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated to support hair health.
