I'm dealing with hair loss and I also have diabetes. I was thinking about taking VB7 5mg and solicits 5mg to help with the hair situation. Does that sound like a safe plan? I'm really concerned about any possible interactions or issues with my diabetes. What do you think?

I've been struggling with these ugly dark spots on my legs for over a decade now. They're from allergic reactions to insect bites and I've also had a habit of picking at the swellings. I'm really frustrated and am wondering if Mederma might be the solution. I've heard about glycolic peeling too, but lasers are just way out of my budget. What do you think I should do?

That could be keratosis pilaris ,maintain personal hygiene,apply moisturizer twice a day,it takes time to hela but will be cured no need to worry.
