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 just wondering if it's okay to take Isotroin 20mg instead of Isotretinoin 20mg? Are they essentially the same thing? Just wanted to make sure before I go ahead.

I've noticed these red dot bumps on the head of my penis and a few on my scrotum, and they're really itchy. I looked it up and it seems like it might be scabies. What would be the best medication or cream to use for this, and how long should I continue treatment?

For scabies, you can use a topical medication called Permethrin cream. Apply the cream all over your body from the neck down and leave it on for 8-14 hours before washing it off. You should repeat this process in 1 week. Additionally, you can take an oral medication called Ivermectin to help treat the scabies. It is important to wash all clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent re-infestation.
