Which oil is best for hair fall?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hair oil can promote circulation and may improve the hair density and frizziness and to an extent improve the hair growth but knowing the root cause of hair fall and treating it makes the difference

View allI'm a bit worried about a situation with my left groin. It started itching a lot today and I noticed there's hard skin peeling off. I took some of it off but now there's this painful red patch where the skin was. My right groin seems totally fine though. Could this be something serious, or do you think it might clear up on its own?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection in your left groin area. You can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm trying to figure out which is better for fighting acne: Perobar 2.5 or Dermadew Acne Soap. I've come across some reviews that mention these soaps might darken the normal color of the face. Is there any truth to that?
Between Perobar 2.5% and Dermadew Acne Soap, Perobar 2.5% is likely more effective against acne. _Perobar 2.5%_ 1. _Contains benzoyl peroxide_: A well-known acne-fighting ingredient that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and unclogs pores. 2. _Stronger formulation_: 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is a relatively strong concentration, making it more effective against acne. _Dermadew Acne Soap_ 1. _Milder formulation_: Dermadew Acne Soap may contain milder ingredients, such as tea tree oil or salicylic acid, which are less effective against severe acne. 2. _May not be as effective_: Dermadew Acne Soap might not be as effective as Perobar 2.5% in reducing acne severity. _Skin Darkening Concerns_ 1. _Unlikely to darken skin_: Neither Perobar 2.5% nor Dermadew Acne Soap is likely to darken your skin tone. 2. _Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)_: If you experience acne inflammation, it may lead to PIH, causing temporary dark spots. To minimize the risk of PIH, use sunscreen daily, avoid picking or popping pimples, and follow a consistent skincare routine.

I've been dealing with acne since I was 15, and it's gotten worse now that I'm 20. I tried some Ayurvedic treatments, but they didn't really help. A dermatologist recommended clarithromycin and tretinoin cream, which showed minimal improvement for a bit, but now my acne's back and even worse. Is there any real, lasting solution out there?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
