I'm trying to decide between Opexa gel and Mederma for scar removal and I'm wondering which one works better. Can you also recommend a good cream specifically for acne scars?

I'm using mustard, olive, almond, jojoba, castor, and coconut oils and I'm thinking about using all of them to help with my hair growth and thickness. Do you think it'd be fine to mix all these oils together and massage them into my scalp, or would it be better to use them individually on different days? I'm mainly wondering if there's any risk of side effects from mixing them since theyre all natural and cold-pressed. What do you suggest?

Mixing different oils for hair growth and thickness can be beneficial as each oil has its own unique properties that can nourish the hair and scalp. You can mix all these oils together for a potent hair treatment. There are generally no side effects to using natural, cold-pressed oils on your hair. You can also rotate the oils if you prefer. For example, you can apply castor oil one day and jojoba oil the next day. This can help ensure that your hair receives a variety of nutrients and benefits from each type of oil. Just make sure to massage the oil into your scalp and hair roots for maximum effectiveness.

I'm using Mintop and noticed sometimes it gets on my other hairs, and I'm worried it might turn them grey. Is that possible? Also, I've started getting grey hairs at just 16. Is there a way to treat them so they can turn black again?

Minoxidil generally does not cause discoloration of hair strands which it comes in contact with. Your grey hairs may be caused due to lack of pigmenting compounds. There are various treatments available online.
