I recently tried using chuna and washing powder on my face to deal with some black pimples, but now my skin is burned. I'm concerned about whether I'll end up with burn marks on my face. Could that happen? What should I do to treat it?

I'm currently taking finasteride 1mg and using minoxidil 5%, and I'm wondering if it's okay to add ashwagandha 500mg to the mix. From what I've gathered, ashwagandha can reduce inflammation and lower cortisol, which could be linked to DHT formation, but it also might boost testosterone levels. I'm trying to figure out if this combo might help keep my testosterone levels balanced. Lately, I've been noticing some muscle loss, inflammation, and fatigue, so I'm a bit worried if I might have low T. Can you give me some guidance on this?
You're considering adding ashwagandha to your existing regimen of finasteride and minoxidil. Ashwagandha's Effects on Testosterone and DHT 1. Testosterone Increase: Ashwagandha may help increase testosterone levels, which could potentially counterbalance the testosterone-reducing effects of finasteride. 2. DHT Reduction: Ashwagandha's anti-inflammatory properties might help reduce DHT levels, which could complement the DHT-reducing effects of finasteride. 3. Cortisol Reduction: Ashwagandha's adaptogenic properties can help reduce cortisol levels, which may contribute to a decrease in DHT formation. Potential Benefits of the Combination 1. Balanced Testosterone Levels: The combination of finasteride (reducing DHT) and ashwagandha (potentially increasing testosterone) might help maintain balanced testosterone levels. 2. Reduced Inflammation: Ashwagandha's anti-inflammatory properties could complement the anti-inflammatory effects of minoxidil, potentially leading to reduced inflammation and improved overall health. 3. Improved Muscle Mass and Fatigue: Ashwagandha's adaptogenic properties might help alleviate fatigue and improve muscle mass, although more research is needed to confirm this.

I'm really concerned about my 3-month-old daughter's skin. I've been using a massage routine with homemade ghee, and then I apply a mixture of gram flour, raw milk, and turmeric powder after 15 minutes. I want to know if it's safe to use these things daily to help lighten her skin tone. Is this okay for her delicate skin? What would you suggest I do to help her?
No they are not adviced to use because their skin is sensitive,you can use natural oils nothing more than that
