I'm currently using Cuticapil hair serum and have been for about 6 months. I've seen some good results, but I'm considering stopping. I'm concerned that if I stop using it, my hair might start falling out again. Can you let me know what to expect?

If you want to stop it you can stop it but rather stopping it abruptly better do ween it,like making it thrice a week later twice aweek and soo.

I've been dealing with pimples and my friend told me about an ointment called Clearwin. I'm wondering if it's safe to try it out, or if there could be any side effects I should worry about?

I got the chickenpox virus back in 2016, and since then, I've been using Dermadew Lite soap. I'm kind of worried about whether it's okay to use it every day. I'm just curious if using it regularly is safe or if there are any side effects I should know about. It only seems to be available at pharmacies, so it feels like a medicated soap. Could you give me some advice on whether I should keep using it or not?
