I'm really struggling with a lot of pimples on my face recently and it's quite frustrating. I've been using acnelak facewash and acnesol cream, but they don't seem to be making any difference. My skin is pretty oily, and I'm not sure what else to try. Could you recommend any medicine or cream that might work for me?

It seems like your current treatment is not effective for your oily skin. I recommend trying a combination of benzoyl peroxide and adapalene gel. You can use Benzac AC gel (2.5%) in the morning and Differin gel (0.1%) at night. Make sure to apply a thin layer on the affected areas after washing your face. Remember to use a gentle cleanser suitable for oily skin and apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness.

View allI'm dealing with some hair fall issues and started using Indulekha hair oil. I've heard that adding vitamin E capsules to hair oil might help, and I'm considering trying it. Can I mix vitamin E capsules directly into the Indulekha bottle and store it like that? If it's okay to do, how many capsules would you recommend for the whole bottle?
-Yes, you can mix Vitamin E capsules into Indulekha hair oil. For a standard 100ml bottle, 2-3 capsules should be enough. Use it regularly for better hair health, but remember to monitor for any irritation.

I've had a stitch mark on my right chin since a childhood accident when I was three. Now at 25, I'm really curious about the best treatment options to finally get rid of it. What would you recommend? Are there any treatments that work well for old stitch marks like mine?
The stitch marks on your right chin have been a reminder of the childhood accident. Treatment Options for Stitch Marks 1. Topical Treatments: Topical creams or gels containing silicone, retinoids, or vitamin E can help improve the appearance of stitch marks. 2. Chemical Peels: A series of chemical peels can help remove the top layers of the skin, reducing the appearance of stitch marks. 3. Microdermabrasion: This non-invasive exfoliating treatment can help improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of stitch marks. 4. Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser treatments, such as fractional CO2 lasers or pulsed dye lasers, can help stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of stitch marks. 5. Surgical Scar Revision: In some cases, surgical scar revision may be necessary to remove the stitch marks. This involves surgically removing the scar tissue and re-closing the wound. Consult a Professional It's essential to consult a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon to determine the best course of treatment for your stitch marks. They will assess the scar tissue, skin type, and other factors to recommend a personalized treatment plan.
