I'm a little worried because I have two cans of Volini spray that expired in May 2020, but I've never even opened them. Do you think it might still be safe to use them, or is that not a good idea? I spent a pretty penny on these, so I'm hesitant to just throw them away. Can you offer any advice or is there any leeway with using products past their expiration like this?

Using expired Volini spray (May 2020) is not recommended, as its potency, safety, and efficacy may be compromised, potentially leading to reduced effectiveness or adverse reactions; it's best to err on the side of caution and discard the expired product, even if unopened.

View allI've been wondering if there's a link between masturbation, watching porn, and acne. Some stuff I read online says it's a myth, while others mention it could increase androgen levels, leading to acne. Could you clarify this for me? I'm really curious and a bit worried about whether this is something I should be concerned about.
_Understanding Combination Antibiotic Therapy for Nail Wound Infection_ Your doctor has prescribed a combination of Linid 600 (linezolid) and Clavmox 625 (amoxicillin-clavulanate) to treat the infection in your nail wound. Here's why: _Reasons for Combination Therapy:_ 1. _Broad-spectrum coverage_: By combining two antibiotics with different mechanisms of action, your doctor aims to cover a broader range of potential bacteria causing the infection. 2. _Increased efficacy_: Combination therapy can enhance the effectiveness of treatment, especially in cases where the infection is caused by multiple types of bacteria. 3. _Reduced resistance_: Using two antibiotics together can help reduce the development of antibiotic resistance, making treatment more successful. _Specific Antibiotic Choices:_ 1. _Linezolid (Linid 600)_*: Effective against Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). 2. _Amoxicillin-clavulanate (Clavmox 625)_*: Effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria. _Following Doctor's Advice:_ 1. _Complete the full course_: Take both antibiotics exactly as prescribed for the full duration of treatment, even if symptoms improve before completing the course. 2. _Monitor for side effects_: Inform your doctor if you experience any side effects, such as diarrhea, nausea, or allergic reactions. _Important Notes:_ 1. _Antibiotic stewardship_: Using antibiotics responsibly helps prevent antibiotic resistance and ensures effective treatment. 2. _Wound care*: Proper wound care, including keeping the wound clean and dry, is essential for promoting healing and preventing further infection.

I've been using mx2 solution and Hairgro serum on and off for a year, and they worked well for a while. But recently, I've noticed a lot of hair loss again over the past couple of months. Could the medication be causing this? Should I stop using it? And do you think it'll get worse if I stop?
