I'm dealing with some serious pain and I got my CBC report back yesterday showing increased TLC or ESR levels. The local doctor mentioned it's causing these boils (funsi foda), but the stuff I got from them isnt helping, and the pain is just too much to handle. Can you please guide me on how to tackle this issue?

The combination of elevated TLC and ESR suggests inflammation or infection, and the pain could be related to that. It's important to continue following up with your healthcare provider and communicate the severity of the pain. If needed, a second opinion from a specialist might be necessary for a more thorough diagnosis and effective treatment plan.

I'm thinking about trying Glutone tablets for skin whitening, and it's my first time with them. I'm a bit curious if they're really effective and safe to take without a doctor's prescription. Also, I'm already using Glutathione soap by Health Vit and haven't noticed any side effects so far. What do you think?

Usually there are no side effects with this, But you should visit a Dermatologist for evaluation of your problem and appropriate treatment.

Is it safe to use Refollium? I'm really worried because I'm only 18 and losing a lot of hair already. Could it have any side effects?

I'm dealing with dandruff and noticed my hair's been thinning since I was 23. It's getting pretty thin now. Is it okay for me to try using a derma roller on my scalp even though I've got dandruff?

1. *Infection risk*: Derma rolling can push dandruff flakes and bacteria deeper into the scalp, leading to infections. 2. *Irritation*: Derma rolling can cause micro-injuries, which may exacerbate dandruff irritation and inflammation. *Preparation is Key* Before using a derma roller on dandruff-affected hair: 1. *Treat the dandruff*: Use an anti-dandruff shampoo and scalp treatment for at least 2-3 weeks to reduce flaking and inflammation.
