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 using melamet cream and my skin has become fairer and whiter, which is great. But now I'm thinking about stopping the cream. Can you suggest another cream that can help me maintain this skin tone without causing any side effects?
You can consider using a cream containing Kojic acid, Vitamin C, and Arbutin for maintaining skin tone without side effects. One such cream is "Kozilite-H Cream." Apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected areas. Don't forget to use sunscreen.

I've been using morrf5 for about five months now. It was working well and really helped with my hair fall, but over the last couple of weeks, I'm noticing that the density on my left temple is decreasing, and my scalp is becoming more visible, even though I'm still using minoxidil. Could this be just a shedding phase, or is there something else going on?
Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
