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 looking to try a Glutathione soap here in India and I'm curious about which brand you might recommend as the best. Also, I'm a bit concerned about whether there are any side effects I need to watch out for. My skin tends to be quite dry, so I'm also wondering if it's safe and suitable for someone with dry skin. Would love to hear your thoughts!
There are several popular Glutathione soaps available in India, such as Gluta-C Intense Whitening Soap, Belo Essentials Intensive Whitening Bar, and Kojie San Skin Lightening Soap. These soaps are known for their skin brightening and antioxidant properties. As for side effects, some people may experience mild irritation, dryness, or redness when using Glutathione soap. It is important to do a patch test before using it regularly to check for any allergic reactions. Dry-skinned individuals can still use Glutathione soap, but it is recommended to follow up with a moisturizer to prevent further dryness. Additionally, using a gentle and hydrating soap can help maintain skin moisture levels. Remember to use the soap as directed and discontinue use if you experience any adverse reactions.

I've been dealing with a fungal issue from a couple of years ago that cleared up with treatment. Now, the skin on my inner thigh is darkened, and when I rub it, black dirt seems to come off. I'm also a bit overweight. Is this discoloration a leftover from the infection, or is it possibly from my weight? What can I do to lighten the skin again?
The dark skin in the inner thigh area is likely due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with obesity. To help improve the dark skin in the inner thigh area, you can try the following: 1. Maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise. 2. Keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. 3. Use a medicated cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the dark skin. Apply it as directed by your doctor. 4. Consider using an exfoliating scrub to help remove dead skin cells and lighten the area. 5. Consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options, such as laser therapy or chemical peels, if needed. Remember to continue practicing good hygiene and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent further skin issues.
