I'm curious about using Capixyl hair serum and I have a few questions. Is it actually beneficial for hair, and are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, is it going to leave my hair feeling sticky, and does it really help with hair growth?

I've been dealing with oily skin and acne for a while now, and it always seems to leave scars behind. On top of that, I had pox a couple of years ago, and that also left scars. I'm really hoping to find a way to get rid of these scars. What can I do?

For acne and pox scars, consider using a gentle exfoliating routine with salicylic acid, and incorporate products containing vitamin C and retinoids to help fade scars. If the scars persist, a consultation with a dermatologist for treatments like chemical peels or microneedling might be beneficial.

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?

Wart removal near the eye is usually safe with local anesthesia; consult an experienced surgeon to avoid nerve damage and minimize recurrence.
