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'm dealing with seborrheic dermatitis on my face, and my doctor recommended a glycolic acid peel with 20% concentration. I'm wondering if this treatment will actually help improve my condition. Can you let me know if this could be effective or if there are any other options I should consider?

I was in an accident recently and ended up with 3 stitches just above my lips, right below my nose. The stitches are healing well, but I'm really concerned about the scar that's forming. Could you recommend an ointment or cream that would help with scar removal? I'm just a bit anxious about this and would love some advice.

You can use Mederma ointment for scar removal. Apply a thin layer of Mederma ointment on the scar area 3 times a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement in the appearance of the scar.
