I'm really worried because I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss, and my hairline is receding. I recently read about something called Follicle RX, which seems to promise hair growth even on a bald scalp. The only thing is, it's only available online. Could you tell me more about this medicine? Like, is it really effective, and is it safe to use?

I've been using garlic to try and get rid of a mole on my face, but now I'm really worried. After an hour, my skin got burnt and turned red. It dried up and I could peel it off, but now it looks black. I've been applying sebo de macho, but it doesn't seem to help. What should I do?

It seems like you may have experienced a skin reaction from using garlic to remove your mole. The black color could indicate a scab or potential skin damage. I recommend you stop using sebo de macho and instead apply an antibiotic cream like Neosporin to prevent infection. You can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin. Additionally, consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at the scab to prevent scarring. If the symptoms worsen or do not improve, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
