I'm really curious about how safe biotin capsules are. Do they actually help with reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth? If they do, could you also guide me on how much I should be taking?

Biotin capsules are generally considered safe, with minimal side effects, and can help reduce hair fall and promote hair growth by strengthening hair follicles and increasing elasticity; recommended dosage varies from 2,500-10,000 mcg per day, but typical dosages for hair growth are 5,000-7,500 mcg per day, taken orally with food, and it's essential to consult a Dermatologist

So, I've been dealing with melanin depigmentation and tried out this Pigmanorm cream that's got hydroquinone 4, hydrocortisone 1, and tretinoin 0.1. I applied it for three days, and now my face is all red in those spots. I stopped using the cream, but I'm kind of freaking out about whether this redness will go away on its own. Right now, I'm using Bioderma Sensibio Forte cream because I heard it's good for flushed skin. Do you think the redness will just fade away, or is it something that's going to stick around for a while? Also, I'm putting on Eveline sunscreen SPF 50 three times a day. Could you check out the pics and tell me what you think?

I've been dealing with dead skin on my penis foreskin for about a year now. There's a lot of itching and scratching in that area, and it's really uncomfortable. I've seen a skin specialist four times, and each time they've given me a different treatment. I've used Castellani's paint and AF 400 mg, then Daktar gel with AF 400 mg, and more recently, normal saline and Onabet for 15 days. But nothing's working, and I'm really worried. What do you think I should do next?
Since the previous treatments have not shown improvement, I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) twice daily on the affected area and taking Fluconazole 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants can also help in managing the condition.
