I've been dealing with pimples on my face and body, and I've heard doctors refer to it as acne. For the past two weeks, Ive been taking Hamdard Safi, and it looks like it's helping clear up my acne. However, I'm concerned because Ive read and heard from some folks, including a few doctors, that Safi might have a lot of arsenic, which could be bad for your body, especially your kidneys. Can you shed some light on whether it's actually safe to keep taking Safi?

Question

I've been dealing with this really itchy scalp issue, and it's getting worse. Whenever I scratch my scalp, these tiny crystals or granules come out under my nails. There's also a plaque-like thing on my scalp, and because of it, my hair is falling out and I feel even more itchy. It's really frustrating. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Question

I'm currently using Benzac 5, but someone recently suggested Pernex AC, which is much cheaper. My tube of Benzac only lasts about two weeks and is pretty expensive compared to Pernex. I'm wondering if I can switch to Pernex instead? Is it just as effective?

Question

I'm curious if there are any side effects from leaving Himalaya Neem Face Wash on my skin overnight before rinsing it off in the morning. Is it safe to do this, or could it possibly cause any issues?
