I recently got my hair smoothened and I've been reading up on aftercare. A doctor mentioned Keraglo eva tablets might be a good idea, but I'm worried about any major side effects. Do you think it's safe to take these tablets?

Keraglo Eva is a combination of vitamins and minerals that promote hair growth and improve hair quality. It is generally safe to use and does not cause major side effects when taken at the recommended dosage. You can take 1 tablet of Keraglo Eva daily after meals for best results.

I've been dealing with this persistent itching in my testicles for the past six months and it's becoming seriously uncomfortable. It's making it really hard to sleep at night and doing any kind of physical activity like running or jogging, which used to be so easy for me, is now a challenge. Do you think I should see a dermatologist for this?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a persistent skin or fungal issue, which can cause discomfort. I would recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment to address the itching and discomfort, especially since it's affecting your daily activities and sleep.
