I'm struggling with this really frustrating dandruff issue. It's weird because it seems like the dandruff is stuck in my hair and not coming out even when I try to shake it loose. My scalp is super dry, which doesn't help. Could you suggest a shampoo, oil, or maybe some other solution that might help with this problem?

I'm curious if using a ready-made Aloe Vera Gel mixed with Vitamin E is a good idea for lightening the dark patches on my face. I've been advised by a doctor on Practo to use SPF 30 for extra protection, but I'm wondering if this Aloe Vera and Vitamin E mix might be beneficial for my skin concerns. What do you think?

Aloe vera gel and vitamin E can be a good combination to help reduce dark patches on the face. Here's why: 1. Aloe vera gel has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help soothe and calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation. 2. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to dark patches. 3. Vitamin E also has skin-lightening properties, which can help reduce the appearance of dark patches. However, keep in mind: - It's essential to choose a readymade aloe vera gel that is pure and free of harsh chemicals. - Vitamin E can be quite thick, so you may want to mix it with a few drops of a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba oil to make it easier to apply. - Always do a patch test before applying any new skincare mixture to your face to ensure you don't have any sensitivity or allergic reactions. - Consistency is key! Apply the mixture regularly, ideally once or twice a day, and be patient as it may take some time to see results. Remember to consult with a dermatologist if the dark patches persist or worsen. They can provide personalized advice and help you identify the underlying cause of the dark patches. Also, don't forget to use SPF 30 as recommended by your doctor to protect your skin from further damage!

I'm using cipla 8x shampoo for hair fall because my doctor recommended it, but I actually have an oily scalp without dandruff. I wash my hair every day and Im wondering if its okay to use cipla 8x daily? I tend to use just a small amount each time.

I'm curious about Canthex capsules and their effects. Can you tell me why doctors usually recommend them? What's the main benefit for our body? Do they help with weight loss, or are they more for treating skin infections?

Contains Orlistat as its active ingredient. It is commonly recommended by doctors for weight management in individuals who are overweight or obese. Orlistat works by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fats in the intestines, leading to reduced calorie intake and weight loss. It is not used for skin infections.
