Question

I've been experiencing severe hair loss, especially with nightfall, and I'm thinking about starting biotin supplements, like a 5000mcg dose, to help with hair growth. I'm also taking triphala to cool down my body and ashvashila for energy right now. I'm a bit worried, though will adding biotin really help with my situation, or is there a chance it might cause any issues with the other stuff I'm taking?

Question

I'm really struggling with dandruff and I've even started getting small wounds on my scalp. I actually saw a dermatologist about a year ago, and they told me to use this lotion at night I can't remember the name and wash my hair with Kenz Sal shampoo. It helped for a bit but now the problem is back. What should I do about this issue?

Question

I got this boil on my nose about two weeks ago. At first, it was just a red bump, but then it filled up with pus. It wouldn't pop on its own, so I decided to pop and drain it yesterday. Now it's all red and swollen. What should I do now?

Question

I've had this white patch on the back of my shoulder for about 20 days and it's turned black after I used melanocyl ointment. It's peeling like dry skin now, and sometimes it itches, though it doesn't really hurt. The skin feels a bit sensitive. Can someone help me figure out what's going on and how to treat it?
