I'm getting married in 20 days and I've noticed my ear piercing holes are really small. Most earrings don't fit through them. Is there a safe way to make the holes bigger, or should I consider getting new piercings? Would love some advice.

I'm dealing with some hair fall issues and started using Indulekha hair oil. I've heard that adding vitamin E capsules to hair oil might help, and I'm considering trying it. Can I mix vitamin E capsules directly into the Indulekha bottle and store it like that? If it's okay to do, how many capsules would you recommend for the whole bottle?

-Yes, you can mix Vitamin E capsules into Indulekha hair oil. For a standard 100ml bottle, 2-3 capsules should be enough. Use it regularly for better hair health, but remember to monitor for any irritation.

I've been dealing with acne for the past six months and I'm thinking about trying tretiva. I'm wondering if tretiva works the same as accutane, which is known to be quite pricey in other countries. Does tretiva provide similar results?
