I'm really struggling with this skin issue that's been bothering me since I was thirteen. I have this mole that's the same color as my skin, which I tried treating with baking soda, but that was too awkward to keep up with, so I just covered it with a bandage. Eventually, it fell off, but now there's another oneit's bigger and swollen, around 2 cm on my jaw. I've been trying homeopathic medicine which seems to be helping a bit with the swelling, but it's still there. A doctor suggested laser treatment, but I'm really scared of that. I've been using coconut oil as a home remedy, but I'm concerned about the scar it might leave. Could you advise on any natural treatment options that might help with both the mole and its scar?

I would recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the scar left by the mole. You can apply it twice a day for several weeks to see improvement. Additionally, you can try using silicone gel sheets to help flatten and fade the scar. As for the mole itself, since it has reduced in size with homeopathic treatment, you can continue applying coconut oil regularly to see if it further helps in reducing it. If you want to explore other options, you can consider consulting a dermatologist who may suggest other topical treatments or procedures like cryotherapy to remove the mole.

I'm noticing a lot of hair fall recently and read that Evion 400 Vitamin E capsules could help. However, I've already got EGlow 400 Vitamin E capsules at home. Are these just as effective? Also, what's the right dosage for them?
