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 a product I've been prescribed. It's called Konaz ZP, and I was told it should be used as a shampoo. But when I checked the label, it actually says it's a lotion. So now I'm unsure about how to properly use it. Could it be possible that there's a mix-up, or is this common? How should I go about using it as a shampoo, if it's labeled otherwise?
yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent

I'm curious about why my nose is darker than the rest of my face. It's oily and sometimes I get whiteheads. Can you help me figure out how to even out my skin tone?
The darker nose tone, oiliness, and whiteheads may be due to hyperpigmentation, excess sebum production, and clogged pores, respectively, and to achieve an even tone, try using a sunscreen, clay-based face masks, salicylic acid or glycolic acid products, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I'm concerned about this connection between vitamin D deficiency and seborrheic dermatitis. My vitamin D levels are at 10.53, which seems low, and I have seborrheic dermatitis. My doctor mentioned there's no link, but I read somewhere that vitamin D deficiency might cause seborrheic dermatitis. I'm confused and would appreciate some clarity on whether there's any real connection or if it's just a coincidence. Could my low vitamin D be affecting my skin condition in some way?
