I'm thinking about starting cod liver oil capsules 'cause I've heard it does wonders for the skin and hair. But before I jump in, I'd love to know more about the benefits and any side effects I should be aware of. Also, any advice on the right dosage and when's the best time to take them?

Cod liver oil capsules are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D, which can provide numerous benefits for skin and hair health. The omega-3 fatty acids help to keep the skin hydrated and may reduce inflammation, leading to improved skin texture. They can also promote hair growth and strength. However, it's important to note that cod liver oil capsules may have some side effects, such as a fishy aftertaste, bad breath, and nausea. Recommended dosage is 1-2 capsules per day.

I'm really struggling to find a cleanser or face wash that's gentle enough for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I need something that wont burn or irritate but can still clean my pores deeply, getting rid of all the dirt and makeup residue in just one wash. At the same time, it should be effective against my acne and pimples. Any recommendations?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm experiencing these hives every night, and it's really frustrating. My skin gets super itchy and bumpy, mainly around my hips, lower stomach, and the back of my hands. The weird thing is, they disappear by morning. I've had this issue for about 5-6 months now, and I don't seem to be allergic to anything. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

It sounds like you're experiencing chronic urticaria (hives), which can occur for various reasons, even without an obvious allergy. Stress, temperature changes, or other factors could be triggering it. I recommend avoiding known irritants, managing stress, and trying antihistamines for relief. If symptoms persist, please consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions or explore other treatment options.
