I have a wart near my left eye and my doctor recommended removing it with surgery under local anesthesia as a precaution, even though it's not causing problems now. Since it's so close to my eye, is the procedure safe? Could there be any risk of nerve damage or other complications? Also, what are the chances of it coming back after removal?

I'm a 19-year-old girl and I've been using Halo shampoo every day. Should I be worried about any side effects from using it that often?

Using Halo shampoo on a daily basis should generally be safe for most people. However, frequent use of any shampoo can potentially lead to dryness or irritation of the scalp and hair. It is recommended to use a mild shampoo and to consider incorporating a conditioner to prevent dryness and maintain the health of your hair. If you experience any scalp irritation or other unusual symptoms, you may consider reducing the frequency of shampooing or trying a different product.
