Can I mix pumpkin seed oil with peppermint oil for hair growth, and if so, what would be the right ratio to mix them in? I'm curious if this combo really works for boosting hair growth or if I should be cautious. Looking for some advice on how to get it just right!

Can you tell me if it's okay to use candid b cream for a fungal infection on my face? I've got these really annoying red and dry patches on my cheeks that look just like dandruff, and I'm a bit worried about them. Is this cream safe to apply there, or should I be trying something else?
Candid B cream can be used for fungal infections on the face. It contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone which are effective in treating fungal infections. You can apply a thin layer of Candid B cream on the affected areas on your cheeks twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Remember to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
