I'm still dealing with some irritation and pain from a leech bite I got two weeks ago. It's kind of freaking me out because I wasn't expecting it to last this long. Should I be worried about an infection, and what can I do to make it feel better? Would love some advice on how to handle this.

I've been dealing with ringworm for a whole year now, and even after seeing a dermatologist, it hasnt gotten any better. Can you suggest anything else I can try to finally get rid of it?

I'm wondering if Folica hair tincture actually helps increase hair density or if it just manages hair fall? I'm really hoping for a product that can boost the thickness of my hair. If it's only good for controlling hair fall, could you recommend a good hair serum that can really help with increasing hair density?

Folica hair tincture primarily helps to control hair fall. If you are looking to increase the density of your hair, I recommend using Minoxidil solution. You can apply Minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) directly to the scalp twice a day to promote hair growth and increase hair density.
