I'm a bit confused about using the Carel Solution. It contains coal tar topical solution USP and salicylic acid IP in an aqueous base, and I've been told to use it like a shampoo. Could you guide me on how exactly I should be applying it? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to use it differently than regular shampoo.

I'm thinking about trying Safi by Hamdard to help purify my blood. Im curious if it really works and whether there are any possible side effects. Also, should I avoid certain foods like yogurt while taking it? And if you have any other suggestions for the best drink to purify blood, I'd love to hear them!

It is commonly used to improve skin conditions and purify the blood. However, like any medication, it may have side effects such as stomach irritation, diarrhea, or allergic reactions in some individuals. It is generally safe to consume yogurt while taking Safi.

I've been dealing with some intense skin itching at night ever since I recovered from dengue fever a week ago. It's mostly on my hands and legs and feels more like bump skin rather than a red rash. Could this itching be related to my recent dengue, or should I be worried about another skin issue? I'm really concerned and could use some guidance.

The itching you're experiencing, particularly at night, with bump-like skin on hands and legs, could be a post-dengue complication, but it's essential to consult a dermatologist to rule out other skin conditions, such as urticaria, pruritus, or allergic reactions, and seek guidance on appropriate treatment.
