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 allI've got a dark brown burn mark on my upper lip from the wax I used yesterday. I'm really worried about it and was hoping you could recommend an ointment or something to help it go away quickly. Any advice?
I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection and promote healing of the burn patch. Apply a thin layer of Neosporin over the affected area twice a day for faster recovery. Additionally, you can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin and reduce inflammation.

I'm really concerned about my oily skin and I've been wanting to achieve a fairer skin tone. Can you suggest a cream that can help me lighten my skin without causing any side effects? I'm looking for something that works quickly. Would appreciate your advice!
For instant fairness with no side effects on oily skin, you can consider using "Kojic Acid Cream". Apply a thin layer of this cream on your face once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from any potential sensitivity to sunlight.
