I accidentally ate a bit of fish before having some curd, and now I'm really worried about whether this could lead to any skin issues. Can you give me any advice on what I should do or if there's anything I need to watch out for? I'm quite concerned and would appreciate your guidance.

it's believed that consuming curd (yogurt) after eating fish can lead to skin issues. However, there's limited scientific evidence to support this claim. Possible concerns: 1. Allergic reactions: If you're allergic to fish or lactose intolerant, consuming curd after fish might exacerbate symptoms. 2. Digestive issues: Fish and curd can be difficult to digest for some people, potentially leading to stomach discomfort, bloating, or gas. 3. Skin issues: While there's no direct link between eating curd after fish and skin problems, some people might experience skin reactions due to individual sensitivities or allergies.

I'm using Tugain 10 and I've noticed that when I exercise, I end up sweating a lot on my scalp. Is it normal to sweat from the scalp after applying Tugain 10? Also, how long should I stay awake after applying it, and how soon can I put on a helmet?

This is a common side effect of the medication. You can continue to use Tugain 10 despite sweating from the scalp. You should wait for at least 4 hours after applying Tugain 10 before going to bed to ensure the medication is fully absorbed into the scalp. As for using a helmet, it is recommended to wait for at least 2 hours after applying Tugain 10 before wearing a helmet to prevent interference with the absorption of the medication.
