I've read that barium sulfate can be used in preparing soap for removing permanent unwanted hair. Is that safe to use? I'm worried because I don't know much about how barium sulfate works and if it has any side effects on the skin. Can you explain this to me and whether it's a reliable method?
Using soap combined with any substance like barium sulfate for hair removal would not provide any significant results and could potentially cause irritation or harm to the skin. Always choose clinically tested and proven methods for hair removal.

I'm really confused about a treatment suggestion I got. My husband's doctor recommended Propysalic nf6 ointment for his hair loss on his chin, and for me, he recommended a different ointment that starts with an "O" and has a green color. Can anyone help me figure out what that might be? I'm worried and just want to make sure I'm using the right thing.
