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 a bit confused about the prescription my doctor gave me. They've suggested using Proanagen solution on my scalp at bedtime, mentioning something about '4 in night'. Does this mean I should apply it every night, and do I need to wash my hair in the morning? Any advice would be really helpful!
Proanagen solution is likely a hair growth promoter. _Application Instructions_ 1. Apply Proanagen solution to your scalp at bedtime. 2. Leave it on for 4 hours or overnight. 3. Wash your hair the next morning. _Daily Application_ Yes, apply Proanagen solution daily, as directed, for optimal results.

I accidentally drank hot water that was around 60 or 70 degrees. My lips and tongue got burned, and I still feel a burning sensation, but the color hasnt changed and there are no burn marks. My lips have started to recover a bit, but my tongue, especially the underside, still has severe issues. It's painful to eat. Is there any ointment or medication you recommend for my tongue?

I was prescribed Faceclin Gel by Dr. Ashok Gupta from Krishna Nagar, and I'm a bit confused about how to use it throughout the day. Should I wash my face before applying the gel, and do I need to reapply it after washing my face later on? I'm trying to figure out the best way to incorporate it into my skincare routine. Any advice?
Apply a thin layer evenly on the affected areas of your face. It is usually recommended to apply FACECLIN GEL once daily, preferably in the evening before bedtime. Avoid applying the gel near the eyes, mouth, or any broken skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the gel. Do not wash your face immediately after applying the gel. Let it stay on your face overnight for best results. In the morning, you can wash your face with a mild cleanser to remove the gel residue. Remember to follow the dosage and application instructions provided by your doctor for the best results.
