How does Vaseline remove unwanted hair?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There are several unconventional methods which use vaseline along with some other kitchen products to remove unwanted hair but there is no scientific proof. Any of these methods may cause minimal removal of hair when scrubed or peeled but it is not a permament solution.

I'm a bit worried about my health because I've been shaking my penis every day. I've noticed I'm not feeling as good as I used to. Could this be causing my health issues? And if so, how can I stop this habit?
Shaking or overstimulating the penis frequently can lead to soreness, fatigue, and reduced energy, potentially affecting overall health if excessive. Try to reduce the frequency gradually and engage in other activities like exercise or hobbies to manage urges. If it's difficult to control, consider talking to a psychologist for additional support.

I've been dealing with scalp itching for a while and have been taking Minoz 100 tablets to help with it. It's frustrating because whenever I stop taking the medicine, the itching comes back after a few days. I'm worried about having to rely on these tablets forever. Is there a way to stop taking them and still manage the itching? Any advice would be appreciated.
t's great that you're looking to explore alternatives to long-term medication. Minoz 100 tablets and scalp itching: Minoz 100 tablets contain minocycline, an antibiotic commonly used to treat various skin conditions, including acne and rosacea. While it may help alleviate scalp itching, it's essential to address the underlying cause of the itching. Why itching returns after stopping the medication: The itching may return after stopping the medication due to: 1. Underlying condition: The root cause of the itching, such as dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis, may still be present. 2. Dependence on the medication: Your body may have become accustomed to the medication, leading to a rebound effect when it's stopped. 3. Hormonal or environmental factors: Hormonal fluctuations, stress, or environmental changes can trigger itching.
