I've noticed some white patches on my scalp after I recently shaved my head, but there's no itching or anything. Could it possibly be a fungal infection or something else? What should I do about it?

Question

I'm really concerned about my hair and nails. I've heard that taking vitamin E can help, but my nails are still brittle and my hair seems thin at the ends, even though I trim it regularly. Do you think vitamin E would actually improve these issues, or could there be something else going on?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about a wound I treated with undiluted Dettol on cotton and left it plastered for about 10 hours. Now there's this black patch around the area. Is this something that will just go away on its own, or should I be worried about any side effects?

Question

Is it safe to use the Himalaya Neem Face Pack since it contains parabens? I've heard mixed things about parabens, and I'm worried if this could affect my skin in any way. Can anyone shed some light on whether this product is okay to use or if I should be cautious?
