1. *Infection risk*: Derma rolling can push dandruff flakes and bacteria deeper into the scalp, leading to infections.
2. *Irritation*: Derma rolling can cause micro-injuries, which may exacerbate dandruff irritation and inflammation.

Before using a derma roller on dandruff-affected hair:

1. *Treat the dandruff*: Use an anti-dandruff shampoo and scalp treatment for at least 2-3 weeks to reduce flaking and inflammation.

Question 3

I've had a brown vertical line on my middle finger nail for the past year. It hasnt grown or hurt, but I read somewhere that this could be a sign of melanoma. I dont have a family history of cancer. Should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

The brown vertical line in your nail plate may be due to a condition called longitudinal melanonychia. While it can sometimes be a sign of melanoma, it is important to consider other causes first. In your case, since there is no associated growth or pain, it may not be a cause for concern. However, it is still recommended to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.

I used a no-scar cream recently and Im wondering how long it usually takes for the skin to return to its normal appearance after the side effects wear off. How many days should I expect for it to look like it did before?

Accepted Answer

It is difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for the skin to return to its previous appearance after experiencing side effects from a no scar cream. The time frame can vary depending on the individual's skin type, the severity of the side effects, and how the skin responds to treatment. However, you can consider using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to help soothe the skin and promote healing.
