I'm starting to eat more dry fruits like figs, apricots, and almonds. But I'm a bit worried they might cause acne. I know everyone says theyre healthy, but I have sensitive skin, and I'm not sure if these can trigger breakouts. Have you seen this happen before? Should I be cautious with certain types like black raisins or walnuts?

I've been dealing with some really slow-healing wounds from a minor bike accident recently. I hurt my fingers, palm, and knee trying to save a dog on the road. I've already taken a tetanus shot and completed a 5-day course of amoxicillin. I've also been dressing my wounds with betadine solution and now switched to using soframycin under the bandages. But it seems like the wounds arent healing as quickly as I'd hoped. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong or any suggestions to speed up the healing process?

If the wounds are not infected you can try placentrex of megaheal for a faster result and consume protien rich diet

I'm considering using Dr. Reddy's Minoxidil topical solution USP 2 for hair regrowth, but I'm not sure if I need to see a doctor for a prescription first. Is it safe to start using it on my own, or do I really need to check with a healthcare professional? I've read a bit about it but want to be certain about any risks or side effects I should be aware of. Would really appreciate your advice!

Dr Reddys Minoxidil 5.. is advised to the patient.
