I'm really curious about how effective homeopathic medicine is for treating skin problems. I've also heard concerns that they might contain steroids. Can you shed some light on this? How can we be sure they're safe and what should I look out for?

There are certain records saying homeopathy medicine would work,and I suggest you to go with the seriousness of your issue if it is serious better option for allopathy, and for your reference homeopathy medicine do not contain steroids.

I've just started using Minokem F solution 5 and I'm a bit confused about how it works. Does it only help with hair growth on the crown area, or can it also be effective for the front of the scalp? My main issue is a receding hairline, not balding on the crown. Is this treatment going to help with that?

I'm curious about whether salt water can actually affect my skin color or hair. I've heard that salt in water might turn your skin black or cause grey hair. Since most underground water seems to have salt, should I be worried about any changes in my skin pigment or hair color? Is it true that salt water isn't good for the skin? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give!
