I'm really concerned because I've been taking ashwagandha for the past 45 days and suddenly I've got a lot of cystic acne on my face. Could ashwagandha be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Ashwagandha is generally considered safe, but some individuals may experience adverse effects, including skin issues like acne; ashwagandha can stimulate hormones, including testosterone, which may lead to increased sebum production and acne in some people, particularly those with hormonal imbalances or acne-prone skin; consider stopping ashwagandha for a few days to see if your acne improves,

View allI'm really worried about my hair falling out a lot lately. It's been happening for a while, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Can you suggest any ways to help stop the hair fall or maybe some treatments that could help me get it under control?
To overcome hair fall problem, you can try using minoxidil solution applied directly on the scalp. Additionally, you can take biotin supplements 10,000 mcg once daily to promote hair growth. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid using harsh chemicals on your hair. Regular scalp massages can also help improve blood circulation to the hair follicles.

I accidentally got some dettol on my forehead today, and now I've got this dark mark. It doesnt hurt or anything, but it just looks terrible. I'm already getting treatment for pimples, but my doctor is out of town. Can you tell me how long it might take for this mark to heal?
You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Silverex cream twice a day to prevent infection. Additionally, you can use a scar removal gel like Contractubex to help reduce the appearance of the dark mark. It usually takes about 1-2 weeks for minor burns to heal, but the dark mark may take longer to fade. Make sure to protect the area from sun exposure to prevent further darkening of the mark.
