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.

View allI'm having trouble finding Dipsalic F ointment at medical stores since they said it's not being made anymore. I've been using it for an allergic reaction, and nothing else I've tried is as effective. Can you suggest the best substitute for this ointment? I'm really concerned about finding something that works as well.
Since Dipsalic F ointment is unavailable, I'll suggest some alternatives with similar ingredients: *Alternatives with Salicylic Acid and Urea* 1. *Ursal 10% Ointment*: Contains urea (10%) and salicylic acid (3%). 2. *Keralyt 5% Gel*: Has salicylic acid (5%) and urea (10%). 3. *Salex 6% Cream*: Contains salicylic acid (6%) and might be suitable for allergic areas. *Other Options* 1. *CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser*: A gentle cleanser with salicylic acid (2%) and hyaluronic acid. 2. *Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream*: A rich moisturizer with urea (10%) and ceramides

I've been using Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne, but my skin's really irritated after applying it. I know the irritation might go away after a few weeks, but now I've got this dark line on one side of my lip that isn't fading. Do you think this will become a permanent black patch or is it likely to disappear on its own?
It's likely a side effect of the deriva bpo gel known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur as a result of skin irritation or inflammation. In most cases, this dark patch should fade over time once you stop using the gel. To help speed up the process, you can try using a topical skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid.
