Can I use Veet hair removal cream for getting rid of pubic hair? I've trimmed, but some hairs are still left, and they hurt when they grow a bit. Is it safe for the skin in that area? Are there other creams suitable for men? I'm not looking for laser treatment.

Yes, you can use Veet hair removal cream for your pubic area. Make sure to choose a sensitive skin formula to minimize the risk of irritation. Follow the instructions on the package carefully and do a patch test before applying it to a larger area.

View allI'm really worried about what's called Schamberg disease and Im trying to figure out if theres a way to treat it at home. What kind of home treatments are out there? Can it actually be managed without seeing a doctor, or is professional help necessary?
Schamberg disease, also known as progressive pigmented purpuric dermatosis, is a rare skin condition characterized by the appearance of reddish-brown spots or patches on the skin. Treatment Options: While there is no cure for Schamberg disease, various treatments can help manage its symptoms. Here are some conventional treatment options: 1. Topical corticosteroids: Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription creams, ointments, or lotions can help reduce inflammation and itching. 2. Phototherapy: Exposure to specific wavelengths of light, such as narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy, can help reduce symptoms. 3. Immunosuppressive medications: In severe cases, medications like pentoxifylline or colchicine may be prescribed to suppress the immune system's response. Home Treatment and Self-Care: While medical treatments are essential, there are some home remedies and self-care measures that can help alleviate symptoms: 1. Moisturize: Keeping the skin hydrated can help reduce itching and inflammation. Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers. 2. Avoid irritants: Steer clear of harsh soaps, detergents, or other products that can irritate the skin. 3. Protect from the sun: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and protective clothing to prevent further skin damage. 4. Cool compresses: Applying cool, wet compresses to the affected areas can help reduce itching and inflammation. 5. Elevate affected areas: If the affected areas are on your legs or arms, elevate them to reduce swelling.

I'm experiencing a lot of hair loss lately and I'm thinking about starting biotin capsules. Should I just go ahead and start taking them, or do I need to consult with a doctor first? Also, are there any side effects I should be concerned about?
You can consider taking biotin capsules, but consulting a dermatologist is recommended, especially if you're experiencing excessive hair loss, to rule out underlying conditions, and biotin is generally safe, but high doses may cause mild side effects like stomach upset, diarrhea, or skin rashes, so start with a low dose (2,500-3,000 mcg) and monitor your body's response.
