Hey, I've got this wound on my face and it's starting to heal, but now the skin's turned pink. Should I be doing something specific to treat it, or will it just heal on its own naturally? I'm kind of curious and a bit worried about it.

The pink color skin around the healed wound is a normal part of the healing process; with time, it should fade naturally, but to promote faster skin tone evenness, consider using topical treatments like silicone gel or sheeting, vitamin E oil, or aloe vera gel, and protect the area from sun exposure using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ to prevent hyperpigmentation.

View allI'm planning to use Bontress hair serum and I'm kind of confused about whether I need to wash my hair every day after applying it in the morning. Is it okay to just leave it in and head to work, or do I need to wash it out? My doctor mentioned using 3 sprays in the morning and 4 in the evening. I'm just trying to figure out the best routine. Can I apply it and then just leave it on, or should I wash it off after some time?
You can leave the serum on your scalp and go about your day without washing it off. There is no need to wash your hair immediately after applying the serum. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosage and application times for best results."
