I'm currently taking BTN ULTRA for my hair, and I'm considering adding Dr. Reddy's OMEGA 3 capsules to my routine as well.

What's your advice?

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.
