I'm an MBBS doctor dealing with acne vulgaris grade 2, and after trying minoz 40mg for 10 days with topical adaplene gel, I still haven't seen any improvement. I'm wondering what I should try next. Do you think Tretinoin would be necessary, and what would the dose be? I've noticed it gets worse pre-menstrually. Any advice?

I'm using mustard, olive, almond, jojoba, castor, and coconut oils and I'm thinking about using all of them to help with my hair growth and thickness. Do you think it'd be fine to mix all these oils together and massage them into my scalp, or would it be better to use them individually on different days? I'm mainly wondering if there's any risk of side effects from mixing them since theyre all natural and cold-pressed. What do you suggest?

Mixing different oils for hair growth and thickness can be beneficial as each oil has its own unique properties that can nourish the hair and scalp. You can mix all these oils together for a potent hair treatment. There are generally no side effects to using natural, cold-pressed oils on your hair. You can also rotate the oils if you prefer. For example, you can apply castor oil one day and jojoba oil the next day. This can help ensure that your hair receives a variety of nutrients and benefits from each type of oil. Just make sure to massage the oil into your scalp and hair roots for maximum effectiveness.

I'm curious about the cost of getting a Q-switch laser treatment for naturally dark lips due to genetics. Also, how long do the effects typically last after the procedure?

Depending on the extent of treatment required, it costs between 7k - 15k INR. The number of sessions required varies from patient to patient. The effects generally last a few years, but maintenance sessions may be required to sustain the results.
