I'm struggling with being really thin, almost underweight, and it's been tough because I really want to gain some weight. I've tried things like eating small meals and adding fruit juices, but nothing seems to work. I thought about using a mass gainer like Endura Mass, but every time I use stuff like that or even multivitamins, I get bad acne. I feel like using a mass gainer is my last option, but I'm worried about the acne coming back. Any advice on what I can do?

While mass gainers are an option, it's important to select the right type and ingredients that suit your body. Focus on whole food sources, consider low-acne-risk alternatives for supplements, and maintain good skincare to balance both weight gain and skin health. Consulting professionals for personalized plans is always a good idea.

I'm taking Keraboost tablets every morning. Is it okay if I start taking two tablets instead of one?

no one tablet in a day is enough ,if you consume morethan one it comes with complications like constipation,abdominal discomfort etc., consume balanced diet with extra protien which helps for growth of healthy hair.

I've got this black spot on my shoulder and back that we call Bhabuti in my local language. I'm really not sure how it started, but it definitely spreads more when the summer months come around. Can you provide any advice or solutions on how to deal with it?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
