Small, red pinhead likenrashes which seem to be deeply embedded in skin. The rash cannot be felt by running our hand across it.

View allI'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 worried about a scar on my face from when I hit the ground really hard three months ago. It seemed to lighten up before using coconut oil, but now it looks like the mark has become permanent. I'm self-conscious about it as it looks odd on my face. Are there any lotions or creams you would recommend to help with this?

I'm really worried about this skin rash I've had for 3 years. It always seems to flare up after I chew tobacco. The rash just doesn't go away easily, and I have to take half a Cetrizine pill to get some relief. I'm really concerned if this could be related to HIV. Can you help?
The skin rash triggered by chewing tobacco is unlikely to be directly related to HIV, as HIV-related rashes typically occur in conjunction with other symptoms like fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes; instead, consider consulting a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause of the rash, which could be an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis, and follow their recommended treatment plan, while also avoiding tobacco and other potential triggers.
