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 19 years old and really want to grow a thicker, fuller beard. Right now, my beard growth isn't as great as I'd like. I have some hair, but it's not as much as I want. Can you give me some tips to help me achieve a fuller beard? I'm really concerned about this and could use your advice. It's pretty important to me.
-At 19, your beard growth is still developing, and genetics play a big role. To encourage thicker growth, focus on a healthy diet rich in proteins, vitamins (like biotin), and minerals, get enough sleep, and avoid stress. Patience is key!

I was wondering what the difference is between scalp psoriasis and dandruff. I'm a bit worried because I'm dealing with some issues on my scalp and can't tell if it's just dandruff or something more like psoriasis. I've attached a few images hoping you could help me figure it out. Could you take a look and let me know your thoughts?
Scalp psoriasis is a skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the scalp, while dandruff is a common condition marked by flaking of the scalp skin. To treat scalp psoriasis, you can use medicated shampoos containing coal tar, salicylic acid, or ketoconazole. In addition, topical corticosteroids or calcipotriene can be applied to the affected areas.
