I'm really worried about something I did while making homemade herbal hair fiber. I accidentally burned wheat and barley in a pan that had a bit of cooking oil in it. After I was done, I learned that burnt oil can release harmful and toxic chemicals. Someone told me it's still safe to use the mixture, but I'm not sure. Could you let me know if it's really okay to use, or should I just throw it away?

I'm really confused about which product to use for skin lightening. I've got a darker skin tone and I've been looking into Kojivit gel, Kojivit cream, Kojivit plus, and Kojivit ultra. Among these, which one would be the most effective for me? I'm just unsure about all these options and would love some guidance.

Kojivit Ultra gel is more effective for skin lightening compared to Kojivit gel, cream, or Kojivit Plus. You can apply a thin layer of Kojivit Ultra gel on the affected skin area once daily in the evening. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from sun damage.

I'm dealing with an itching issue on my lower back that's been going on for about 2 months now, and I've also noticed some rashes in that area. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing this and what I can do to alleviate it. Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin condition such as contact dermatitis or eczema. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
