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.

I'm really worried about my hair. I used to have really thick, jet-black hair ever since I was a kid, but over the last few years, my hair has been falling out so much. Now, it's not only thinning but also turned from black to brown. Plus, there are these red bumps and a lot of dandruff on my scalp. I'm not sure what could be causing all this. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I can do about it?

I'm really struggling with my skin during the winter months. It turns really dark and dry, and oddly enough, it actually gets even darker when I use moisturizers. To top it off, I start breaking out with pimples too. It's so frustrating, because my skin is completely fine in the summersmooth, bright, and pimple-free. I'm based in Delhi, if that makes any difference. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?
