I'm dealing with dandruff and noticed my hair's been thinning since I was 23. It's getting pretty thin now. Is it okay for me to try using a derma roller on my scalp even though I've got dandruff?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
- Infection risk: Derma rolling can push dandruff flakes and bacteria deeper into the scalp, leading to infections.
- Irritation: Derma rolling can cause micro-injuries, which may exacerbate dandruff irritation and inflammation.
Preparation is Key
Before using a derma roller on dandruff-affected hair:
- Treat the dandruff: Use an anti-dandruff shampoo and scalp treatment for at least 2-3 weeks to reduce flaking and inflammation.

View allIs it alright to use Ban A Tan cream regularly given it only has natural ingredients? I'm just curious if its safe for daily use.
Although Banana Tan cream contains natural ingredients, it's essential to exercise caution and patch test before using it daily, as natural ingredients can still cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, or interact with other products, so start with a small area and monitor your skin's response.

I'm 15 and I've been thinking about trying these glutathione 1500mg ivory caps for my skin. But I'm kinda worried about whether it's safe for someone my age. Also, I read somewhere that if you stop taking them, your skin won't go back to its original color. Is that true? Would really appreciate some advice on this.
true and you are too young to consume it consult your doctor

I've been dealing with keloids on my chest for over 5 years. I went the allopathic route and my doctor used Cryotherapy plus steroid injections directly on them, which seemed to shrink them a bit. I also tried silicon gel sheets for a year. But now it's frustrating because I have 57 keloids in the same spot again, and the treatments only seemed to make a temporary difference. Is there any permanent solution for keloids that doesnt involve more steroid injections? Just wondering if allopathic medicine offers a clear treatment for keloids.
Your body has keloid forming tendency,if you attempt to remove one new one would come up,if it is cosmetically bothering you, you can go for one more course of treatment.
