I'm experiencing a lot of hair loss lately and I'm thinking about starting biotin capsules. Should I just go ahead and start taking them, or do I need to consult with a doctor first? Also, are there any side effects I should be concerned about?

You can consider taking biotin capsules, but consulting a dermatologist is recommended, especially if you're experiencing excessive hair loss, to rule out underlying conditions, and biotin is generally safe, but high doses may cause mild side effects like stomach upset, diarrhea, or skin rashes, so start with a low dose (2,500-3,000 mcg) and monitor your body's response.

View allI'm feeling pretty worried about these acne marks on my nose. I've been using Aziclear serum like my dermatologist suggested, but it's been over 6 weeks and I haven't noticed much change. The mark has lightened just a little bit, but now it feels even more obvious because of its size. My skin is generally dry, and I've got blackheads and bumps mostly just on my nose. Do you have any advice on what I could do or should I consider something else?

I'm seeing these black lines on both sides of my index fingernail and I just noticed them two days ago. Its worrying me a bit. I've been taking Amlopres AT 25 mg for my blood pressure for the past 6 years. Could this medication be related to what's happening with my nail? Or is there something else I should be concerned about?
The black lines on your nails could be due to a condition called splinter hemorrhages, which are tiny areas of bleeding under the nails. In your case, it may be related to the long-term use of Amlopres At (Amlodipine) for your blood pressure. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options. In the meantime, you can continue taking your Amlopres At as prescribed.
