Hey, I've got these scars on my buttocks from boils that were treated with mupirocin ointment, but the scars just won't go away. Do you have any advice on how I can get rid of them?

To help reduce scars from boils on your buttocks, you can try using a silicone gel or vitamin E oil, which promotes healing. Gently massage the area and be patient, as scar healing takes time. If the scars persist, consult a dermatologist for further treatment options.

I'm currently using Hair4u shampoo by Glenmark every day and applying Tugain form 5 at night. I'm wondering if it's okay to wash my hair daily with this shampoo. Is this something that's usually recommended? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate your advice on whether this routine is safe.
yes you can as it is advised by your doctor but if your scalp is irretated and dry it is recomended to limit the usage to 3-4 times a week

Which oil is best for hair growth?
Peppermint oil with any carrier oil like castor oil,almond oil,Argan oil promotes hair growth by increasing scalp circulation. Also, frequency of oiling the hair must be individualised according to your hair/ scalp type. Persons with oily or greasy hair/ scalp must avoid frequent oil application to hair while persons with dry hair may safely use oil for mosturizing the scalp.
