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've got this big black patch on my right shoulder called a baker nevus, and I know it's harmless, but it's become a big deal for me, especially because it messes with my confidence. People say its not a big deal, but that's easy for them to say. I find myself avoiding places where I'd need to take off my shirt like the gym or beach, and even at home, I don't like being shirtless because of it. It's really affecting me psychologically, and sometimes, I just feel really frustrated about it. What can I do to get rid of or manage it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've been dealing with persistent redness on my face ever since I used Elosone HT. It's been a long 9 months and I've seen multiple doctors without much luck. They've prescribed various treatments like Benzoyl peroxide gel, Doxybond LB tablets, Clobetamil, aloe vera gel, and Salicylic acid creams, among others. I've also tried Metrogel, Calapure lotion, and Epilyno lotion. Despite all these efforts, the redness still hasn't completely gone away. I'm really worried and could use some help figuring out an effective treatment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
clinsol gel for local application is advised..
