I'm 29 years old and my skin has a wheatish tone. I've got a lot of tan and some dark spots on my face. Basically, I'm looking to add some brightness and glow. I've heard about Kojiglo cream. Do you think it's a good idea for me to use it, or are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Kojiglo to continue for 3-6 weeks for better results, in case of reactions consult dermatologist.

I've had my ears pierced for almost five years but just noticed a bump next to the piercing on my left ear two days ago. It's not too hard or soft, only hurts when pressed, and has shrunk from its original dome shape. I don't think it's a keloid since those grow inside the piercing could it be an abscess or a boil? I'm worried I might need surgery but hoping for a home remedy if possible.

ent opinion is advised.

I'm dealing with hair loss, dandruff, and an itchy scalp, and a dermatologist at DHI suggested I try keraglo men. I'm worried and have some questions about it. First, is it really safe to take keraglo men? If I decide to stop, will there be any side effects? Are there any other supplements I should consider using alongside it, and what happens if I stop them too? I'm also curious if I can take Becosules along with keraglo men. Id appreciate any additional insight you might have.

Dont worry you are in right way follow your doctors advice and yes you cantake vitamin supplements its good
