View allI'm considering using Evion 400 capsules on my face every other day. I usually mix it with almond oil or aloe vera gel. Does this sound like a good routine? Is there anything I should be worried about?
Using Evion 400 (Vitamin E) on the face can be beneficial for skin health. However, it is important to note that applying it directly from the capsule may be too concentrated for some individuals and could potentially cause skin irritation. It is recommended to mix the contents of the capsule with almond oil or aloe vera gel before applying it to the face. This can help dilute the Vitamin E and make it safer for topical use. You can continue using it every alternate day, but if you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, please discontinue use.

I've had this pea-sized lump on my bikini line for almost two years now. It sometimes oozes pus, and while I've had similar ones before, they've never lasted this longusually just a week or so. This one feels hard and sometimes shrinks a lot, but then it puffs back up again. Should I be worried about it, and what could it possibly be?
It sounds like you may have a recurrent abscess in your bikini area. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and applying it to the affected area twice a day after cleaning it with mild soap and water. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the lump does not improve or if you develop a fever, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and possible drainage of the abscess.

I've been experiencing some hair loss and recently visited a hair care doctor who recommended I use Anaphase shampoo, Racine Hair Lotion, and Trichopro Plus. I'm a bit concerned and curious if these products, especially the Racine Hair Lotion, are safe to use. Also, is this something I'm going to have to use for the rest of my life? Would love some guidance on this.
Continue same treatment.
