I've been really anxious since my circumcision surgery 44 days ago because the stitches are still there. How much longer do these typically take to dissolve? Also, I'm curious when the sensitivity might start to decrease. Is there anything I should be doing in the meantime?

No need to worry they dissolve in 120-180 days depending upon the type of material used, sensitivity will become less with time.

I recently had my first-ever full-body wax and followed it up with an oil massage. When I looked up post-waxing care, I realized I shouldn't have gone for the massage. During it, my body felt really warm. Now I'm kind of freaking out because I've still got rashes and redness on my arms and chest, and the pores on my legs seem open. Is this because of the massage I did after waxing? I'm really worried about what's going on with my skin. What should I do?

Question

I've been struggling a lot with brittle hair and recently started experiencing severe hair loss. I'm a 29-year-old woman and have previously used Selsun shampoo for issues like dandruff and an oily scalp, and it seemed to work wonders back then. Now that I'm dealing with hair loss, I'm curious about which Selsun shampoos would be best for this problem. Could you give me some advice?
