I'm really curious about hair fibres and if they can damage my hair. Is there a risk of them causing more hair loss?

Hair fibers, when used properly, are generally safe and don't cause significant damage or hair loss; however, excessive use, improper application, or using low-quality fibers can lead to tangling, breakage, or exacerbate existing hair loss conditions, such as alopecia or thinning hair.

I'm a 22-year-old woman living in a small town in Maharashtra. I've struggled with acne in the past, and while it's under control now, I'm left with scars on my face. Do you have any easy and quick home remedies for fading these acne scars?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I used a zalim lotion about 45 minutes ago, and now my skin is burning. Is this normal? What should I do to relieve the burning?

If you are experiencing burning sensation on your skin after using a lotion, it is possible that you may be having an allergic reaction or irritation to one of the ingredients in the lotion. I recommend washing the affected area with mild soap and water to remove the lotion. You can apply a soothing cream like calamine lotion or aloe vera gel to help with the burning sensation. If the burning sensation persists or worsens, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like cetirizine 10mg once daily for relief.
