Can aloe vera remove pimples?
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.

View allI'm really worried about my sister. She's currently 22 weeks and 4 days pregnant and recently had a viral fever. The fever's gone now, but she's experiencing some intense itching all over her body. The doctor mentioned it's a post-viral symptom, but she's been taking LCZ and using lacto calamine without any relief. What are some quick solutions or remedies she can try to ease the itching?
Consider adding an oral antihistamine like cetirizine or levocetirizine, and a topical cream like aloe vera gel or calamine lotion with 1% menthol, under medical guidance, to help alleviate itching, and also ensure your sister stays hydrated and avoids scratching to prevent infection.

So, I recently used chuna powder to remove a mole, and now the surrounding skin is burned, although it's completely healed now. The thing is, there's a small scar and a tiny hole-like uneven surface left behind. I'm using dermadew soap and can see the scar lightening a bit. I'm really hoping to get rid of the uneven surface and scar. Can you suggest a cream that might help with this?
Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .

I've been told to start using MX 5 solution every night for my hair fall issue, but I'm confused because I read online that it's meant for men only. Is that true? And I've also come across some info about potential side effects like weight gain. Is that something I should be concerned about?
Minoxidil 5% solution is commonly used for hair loss in both men and women. It is not exclusively for men. As for side effects, weight gain is not a common side effect of minoxidil. The most common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, and unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
