I'm really curious about using vitamin E and fish liver oil tablets for my hair care. I got the vitamin E 400mg and cod liver oil B.P 300mg tablets from a pharmacy, but I'm unsure about the right dosage. How many of these can I safely take each day? Can you help me figure this out?

Vitamin E and cod liver oil can be beneficial for hair care, but it's essential to follow proper dosages to avoid adverse effects.
Recommended Dosages
- Vitamin E (400mg): The recommended daily intake of vitamin E varies from 15mg to 20mg. Taking 400mg per day is significantly higher than the recommended amount. High doses of vitamin E can cause adverse effects like headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Consider taking 1 tablet (400mg) every 2-3 days.
- Cod Liver Oil B.P (300mg): Cod liver oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D. The recommended daily intake of cod liver oil varies from 1000mg to 3000mg. Taking 1-2 tablets (300mg each) per day should be safe.

View allI'm really worried about my friend who's got genital herpes on his foreskin. It's weird though because he's not feeling any pain or itching at all. Is genital herpes something that happens a lot?
Genital herpes, caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), is not curable, but it's manageable with antiviral medications, and while it's often associated with painful blisters, some people, like your friend, may experience mild or asymptomatic outbreaks; genital herpes is relatively common, affecting an estimated 3.7 billion people worldwide, and it's highly contagious, so it's essential for your friend to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis, treatment, and guidance on preventing transmission.

Can I use Veet hair removal cream for getting rid of pubic hair? I've trimmed, but some hairs are still left, and they hurt when they grow a bit. Is it safe for the skin in that area? Are there other creams suitable for men? I'm not looking for laser treatment.
Yes, you can use Veet hair removal cream for your pubic area. Make sure to choose a sensitive skin formula to minimize the risk of irritation. Follow the instructions on the package carefully and do a patch test before applying it to a larger area.

I've been dealing with some psychological issues recently and ended up with several blade cuts on my leg. Things are better now, but the cuts left a lot of marks. The scars aren't too deep since the blades only grazed the outer layer, but multiple cuts caused quite a noticeable scar. I'm looking for some advice on which ointment might help peel off dead skin and promote fresh skin growth. My skin's become extremely dry around those marks too. Could you suggest something that might help me with this issue?
