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.

View allI'm really struggling with warts in my beard area. It's been going on for about three years now. I've tried homeopathy, but unfortunately, I didn't see any results. I even went for laser treatment, but new warts popped up just ten days after the procedure. Could you suggest a permanent solution for getting rid of these warts?
Warts can be stubborn to treat, but there are effective options available. One common treatment for warts is Salicylic acid, which is available in the form of Mediplast pads. You can apply these pads directly on the warts daily. Another effective option is Cryotherapy, which involves freezing the warts off with liquid nitrogen. Your doctor can use Veregen cream, which contains green tea extract, to treat the warts. Additionally, Imiquimod cream can also be used to boost the immune response against the warts. It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for these treatments.

I'm a bit confused about how to take Acivir 400 mg for these active lesions on my penis, as I've been diagnosed with HSV-2. My test results show my IGG and IGM are both at 183, while HSV-1 and HIV came back negative. The instructions were to take the medication three times a day for seven days, but I'm unsure if I should swallow the tablet with water or if it needs to be dissolved first. I wasn't able to ask the doctor who prescribed it and could really use some guidance. Any advice on this?
You should take the tablet orally with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet before swallowing. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to effectively counter the virus and decrease the lesions.
