Hey, I've been taking Follihair tablets for over a year now, and I've just picked up another year's supply. Do you think it's okay to keep using them for this long? Also, I've noticed that the ingredients have changed a bit. The old tablets had 10 mg of biotin, but the new ones only have 30 mcg, along with some other new vitamins and minerals. With such a big difference in biotin, do you think the new tablets will still work as well as the old ones? I'm mainly asking because biotin is supposed to be a key ingredient for hair growth, right?

Biotin is indeed an important ingredient for promoting hair growth, but the newly added vitamins and minerals in the new formulation may also contribute to overall hair health. It is advisable to continue using the new formulation and monitor any changes in hair growth or health. It is generally safe to use follihair tablets for an extended period of time, as they are commonly used for hair growth and hair health.

View allI've been dealing with itching and rashes in my private area for about a month now, and it's getting really bothersome. Because of the lockdown, I haven't been able to see a doctor. Is there anything I can do to help with this at home, or should I be worried about something more serious?
Itchiness and rashes in the private area for a month can be due to a fungal infection. You can try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it twice a day for 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry. If there is no improvement or if it worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've got some trouble with acne on my nose and I'm noticing dark spots on my face, especially where I previously had acne. It's been a bit worrying as these dark spots are sticking around after the acne has cleared up. I also see the same issue with dark spots and acne on my nose. What can I do to get rid of these dark spots? Any advice would be really helpful!
Usually acne scars would fade with time, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
