I'm dealing with a boil on my arm, and it just won't stop leaking pus. Should I put anything on it or just let it be? Is it better to keep it open or should I cover it with a band-aid and wait for it to get better? I'm a bit worried about what to do.

I'm dealing with some major hairfall that's been happening ever since I bounced back from jaundice a couple of months ago. My dermatologist recommended using keraboost tablets and a hair serum. I'm trying to decide between two serums: one has Minoxidil and the other has Procapil. She said either would work based on what's available. But while browsing online, I read that stopping Minoxidil can have side effects. Does Procapil have any similar issues if I stop using it? I want to make sure I choose the option that's more sustainable for me since I can't afford something super long-term. Would love some advice on this.

Regarding your concern about the side effects of Procapil, it is generally considered to have fewer side effects compared to Minoxidil. Procapil is a combination of three active ingredients that work to improve hair anchoring, reduce hair loss, and stimulate hair growth without the potential side effects associated with Minoxidil. You can consider using a hair serum containing Procapil as recommended by your dermatologist.

I'm really struggling with dark circles and marks under my eyes. I've tried all sorts of face creams, face packs, and washes, but nothing seems to help. My skin is this annoying mix of oily and combination, and it always just looks dull. Do you have any advice on tablets or creams I should try?

For dark circles and dull skin, you can try using a combination of Vitamin C serum and retinol cream. You can use a Vitamin C serum in the morning to brighten the skin and reduce dark circles, and a retinol cream at night to improve skin texture and reduce marks. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin C supplements to further boost skin health. Make sure to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer suitable for oily and combination skin to keep your skin hydrated.

I've just started taking Morr F 5 for my ADA, and my hair fall's actually gotten worse since day one. Is this normal? Why is it happening, and when can I expect it to calm down and see some hair regrowth?

Hairfall will contine for a 3 months and regrowth will start after 3-6 month of use.
