Question

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?

1. *Infection risk*: Derma rolling can push dandruff flakes and bacteria deeper into the scalp, leading to infections. 2. *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: 1. *Treat the dandruff*: Use an anti-dandruff shampoo and scalp treatment for at least 2-3 weeks to reduce flaking and inflammation.

Question

I've been using Betnovate N ointment on my face for dark spots and it seemed to work well initially. But after stopping it, my skin's become really dull, has turned black in places, and there's quite a bit of redness too. It's itching like crazy, and it's honestly annoying. I've noticed my skin getting darker, which is really worrying me. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do to fix this?

Question

I'm curious about something I've come across. I know some homeopaths suggest using mother tinctures like berberis aquifolium to help with acne and scars, but I've also read that these tinctures have high levels of ethanol. I'm a bit worried because this type of alcohol is said to be drying and might not be good for facial skin. Can you please shed some light on whether ethanol is safe to use on the face?
