I'm dealing with a pretty bad itching all over my body, and it's bothering me quite a bit. A few years ago, I experienced something similar, and it turned out to be scabies. Could this be the same issue again, or is it something else? What should I do about it?

That could be Fungal infection, maintain personal hygiene and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've never been a smoker, but my lips are really dark, and I'm desperate to lighten them. I've tried a bunch of home remedies like lemon, honey, and beetroot, but nothing seems to work. What else can I do to help get rid of this?
Darkening of lips could be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, dehydration, Sun exposure. Identify the cause and address it. Use a lip balm with spf 15 or higher to protect them.Ensure you drink plenty of water daily. use a gentle scrub to exfoliate dead skin 2-3 times a week. use moisturising and hydrating lip balms.

I've been using a procapil solution for a couple of months now, but I haven't noticed any improvement in my hair fall. I'm quite concerned about whether I should stop using it. If I discontinue it, will it cause my hair fall to worsen? I'm really worried and would appreciate some guidance.
Procapil is a combination of biotinoyl tripeptide-1, apigenin, and oleanolic acid, commonly found in hair growth products. If you have not seen any improvement in hair fall after 2 months of use, it may be appropriate to discontinue it. Discontinuing procapil solution is not known to cause an increase in hair fall. You can consider switching to minoxidil solution, which is a commonly used medication for hair growth. The recommended dosage for minoxidil solution is typically 1 milliliter applied to the scalp twice daily.
