I'm thinking about starting cod liver oil capsules 'cause I've heard it does wonders for the skin and hair. But before I jump in, I'd love to know more about the benefits and any side effects I should be aware of. Also, any advice on the right dosage and when's the best time to take them?

Cod liver oil capsules are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D, which can provide numerous benefits for skin and hair health. The omega-3 fatty acids help to keep the skin hydrated and may reduce inflammation, leading to improved skin texture. They can also promote hair growth and strength. However, it's important to note that cod liver oil capsules may have some side effects, such as a fishy aftertaste, bad breath, and nausea. Recommended dosage is 1-2 capsules per day.

Question

I've been bitten by mosquitoes a few weeks ago, and I'm starting to see rashes on my face. I'm really worried. Could this be related to dengue? Do the rashes usually appear before the fever sets in, or is it the other way around? What are the other symptoms I should watch out for?

Question

I've been really stressed this year and taking a lot of pain meds, like ibuprofen and naproxen. I stopped the naproxen because I thought it might be the problem. About a month and a half ago, I noticed a few tiny red spots on my upper arms. Even after stopping the naproxen, the spots are still there, and I think there are more now. I had a CBC done when I first noticed them and the platelets were normal, but all the stuff I read online is just really scary. I'm freaking out a bit. What could be causing these spots?

Question

I'm wondering if the Doctor Touch and Glow Dual Fairness Sunscreen is safe for my skin. Can it actually work for all skin types? I'm a bit worried because I've had reactions to certain products before. Any insights would really help!
