I'm dealing with some hair issues like hair fall, split ends, and slow hair growth. I'm thinking about trying biotin supplements, but I'm worried about whether they might have any side effects. Also, if it's okay to start taking them, could you suggest any specific brand that's good? I really want my hair to grow longer and healthier.

I'm struggling with my curly and dry hair, and I'm on the lookout for a good shampoo and conditioner. I've heard that it's important for these products to be paraben and SLS free, and Im wondering if that's really necessary or if sticking to a reputable brand would be just as effective. What do dermatologists generally think about using paraben and SLS-free products?

Sebamed shampoo is advised to the patient.

I'm waking up every morning with this itchy feeling all over my body, and I'm even getting mild hives. It's really strange because I've never had any skin allergies before, so I'm curious about what could be causing this. It's pretty frustrating, and I'm starting to worry. Can you tell me what's going on and what might help?

The itchy skin and mild hives, particularly in the morning, could be due to dry skin, environmental factors, stress, hormonal changes, or skin conditions like eczema or urticaria, so consult a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan.
