Is Aloe Vera good for hair?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Aloevera has antibacterial properties. But natural isn't always safe when it comes to skin care. Kindly do a patch test before trying.

I've heard quite a few people say that applying an ice cube on your face can help with reducing pores and redness. Is that true? Could it potentially cause any harm to the skin? Just feeling a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe before I try it out.

I'm really worried because my toddler son accidentally scratched my face with his nails, and now there's a scar that's left a black mark. The new skin has already started to come in, but the mark is still there. Could you recommend an ointment or anything I can do to help it fade?

You can apply Mederma ointment on the scar to help reduce its appearance. Apply a thin layer of Mederma gel on the scar twice a day and gently massage it into the skin. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.

Can I put betanovate gm cream on my genital area? My scrotum and penis are itching really bad. I tried setrabate after an online doctor recommended it, but the itching hasn't stopped. The doctor also suggested betanovate gm or hhzole, but the pharmacist said betanovate gm is better. I'm also using candidforce 100, which helps with the itch, but when I stop, the itching comes back, and it makes me feel like cutting things off. Any advice on what I should do?

Continue all the medications, hhzole cream for local application for 2-3 weeks, tab canditral 100mg once daily for 3 weeks and tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days after food.
