I'm really concerned about these dark circles under my eyes. Is it safe to use mometasone cream for them? I heard about something called MMS cream, any idea what brand that is? And, by the way, are there any potential side effects I should worry about?

Avoid using Mometasone cream (brand names: MMS Cream, Elocon, Momate) for dark circles under the eyes, as it can cause side effects like skin thinning, glaucoma, cataract formation, rosacea-like symptoms, and dependence, instead consider alternative eye creams or consult a dermatologist.

Question

I've been dealing with hair fall issues and my hair just isn't growing after a certain point. I'm pretty concerned and I've heard about these capsulesBecadexamin and Keraglo Evafor hair regrowth. Could you help me figure out which one would be better for me? I'm really curious if one is more effective than the other.

Question

I've always thought I had good hair, but over time, I've noticed it's not as dense as it used to be. I've constantly struggled with dandruff too. In Bangalore, the water is quite hard, and we usually use borewell or tank water for bathing. I'm wondering if washing my hair with KENT purifier water, which has a TDS level of 80, could have any negative effects. Could this be a better option for my hair problems?

Question

I've just started using Minokem F solution 5 and I'm a bit confused about how it works. Does it only help with hair growth on the crown area, or can it also be effective for the front of the scalp? My main issue is a receding hairline, not balding on the crown. Is this treatment going to help with that?
